Brian Eno Album Redesign
This Graduate Typography One class project involved redesigning Brian Eno's Ambient 1 through Ambient 4 albums into a single compilation. Eno's name was crafted from the synthesizer notes used in the albums, connecting the typography to the music. A muted color palette was chosen to capture the albums' softness and ambience, while a pattern evoking peacefulness and tranquility was created. The redesign aimed to refresh the visual identity and encapsulate the essence of Eno's ambient soundscapes.

The experience highlighted the rigorous yet rewarding journey of a designer, helping me understand the dedication and creativity needed to succeed.
