P01 → Bandwagonesque Album
Cover Redesign h
A complete redesign of the 1991
release ‘Bandwagonesque’ by alt-
rock band ‘Teenage Fanclub’. The album design uses an experimental decon-stuctive typography style, evocative of the era in which the album is from, to illustrate the idea of teenage love and emotions being chaotic. The image making used a chemical process called chromatography,
the pigment separation uniquely presenting the idea of ‘fleeting fantasy’. Strong bursts of colour and energy that eventually fade or just stop abruptly become a visual production of how a daydream/ idea of somebody can do the same. The complete design style rep-
resents the care free and full bodied sound of the album,
letting the audience get a feel
for Bandwagonesque as soon as
they pick it up.
This design was a Vaughan Oliver Design Scholarship 2025 finalist.
On top of redesigning the cover of the album, I physically made a vinyl record, designing all of the
assets to go along side it, including: Insert sleeves featuring a full lyric sheet and album credits...
A 24 inch fold out poster that is attached to the record packaging...
And a special lyric booklet that features chromatography specially paired with each song...
On top of the record packaging, I also created tour posters (featuring the same destinations as the bands original 1992 UK tour).
Last but not least, a direct comparison between the original album cover and my redesign.
