Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Redesigning album artwork for Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports."

Album Package Redesign | Exhibition Identity | 2024
Redesigning album package for Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" requires a deep understanding of the album's themes, and Eno's artistic vision. The album was released in 1978, and is considered to be a superior work in the ambient music world famous for its tranquil and minimalist compositions designed to soothe the anxious atmosphere of the airport terminal.

I experimented with various directions to redesign the cover (as displayed in the first section below). I ended up with the abstract, cloud, and paddle-looking visual that coheres with his music's serenity and charm. Furthermore, there would also be a meditation exhibition for people to enjoy the visuals, and calm their mind while listening to his music. 

The typeface, Degular, used in here is known for its clean and modern look, which offers good legibility even at smaller sizes such as track titles, artist names, album information, etc. Its clean lines and simplicity resonate well with the softness and cleanness of Eno’s music.
