A long time client, famed producer, artist and one of the architects of the Minneapolis sound, Andre Cymone’s 5th solo album is steeped in all the sounds and spirit of the era when the civil rights movement met the summer of love. The album’s art needed to reflect that retro spirit while still feeling and looking fresh. In addition to album artwork, our team created a website, social media marketing collateral, one-sheets, custom art posters and more to support the album’s promotion.
A basis of the art is a mix of original images and shots of Cymone by photographer Katherine Copeland-Anderson, archival photos from woodstock, the civil rights movement and Cymone’s own personal early 70’s photo collection. The artwork was designed to set the tone for the album’s themes of universal love and righteous protest, while giving his fans plenty of easter eggs to hunt
