Phoebe Bridgers Vinyl
A reimagined vinyl record design crafted from handmade elements. In the first track, Smoke Signals, Phoebe sings, “I buried the hatchet, it’s coming up lavender.” Throughout the album she explores of the other side of inner darkness and humanizing the criminal. I imagined a murderer through an unrequited love. In trying to communicate that love, things became twisted and destroyed both the human and love. I took lavender, something really delicate, and burned it, adding drops of food coloring to symbolize blood. On the back cover there is a faint shadow of a hand holding the lavender before it’s destroyed, representing good intention gone awry. Since Phoebe often invokes the 80s, the type treatment naturally went in the direction of early video games and tv shows.
