This project is a limited-edition 12" vinyl album cover design for the 2021 album Tyron by British rapper slowthai. The design reflects the album’s duality, with the first half consisting of heavier, upbeat tracks, and the second half softer and more introspective.
The visual elements, such as gritty textures, damaged paper edges, and blurred figures, convey the dark themes of depression and suicidal thoughts. Contrasting this, a floral pattern symbolizes the transition from darkness to light.
The design incorporates mirroring and inversion to visually represent the album's thematic split, creating a powerful and evocative package.
