all about typography
This project pays homage to John Legend's musical career and reinterprets the cover design for his debut album, Get Lifted, with a varied typographic approach.
The overall concept of the work is to visualize the feeling of the album title ‘Get Lifted’. The structural or elemental traits of the typefaces were used in diverse experimental ways to have visual dynamics.
