    This is a classical album cover I just designed and sent to print.
    It's for a classical cellist I know. He's just recorded a crazy project.
    It's a piece written in 1570 by Thomas Tallis for 40 voices and he's played the whole piece on solo cello and mulitracked the whole thing, it's amazing. The design comes from the 40 voices, so the grid for the booklet is shown on the cover (5x8) and there are 40 concentric 40-sided polygons overlaid.
    I didn't want it to look like the standard cheesy classical albums that always seem to feature old paintings etc.

    • Spem in alium? One of my favourite ever music pieces. Nice work - interesting interpretation.detritus
    • Though - why do the circles degrade as they encompass the 40 voices? I'd expect it the other way around?detritus

    • detritus - I think (bad idea) the answer to your ? is that they are 40-sided polygons, not true circles. Great concept + execution btw!Cultr
    • +execution btw Bskerville, inspiring!Cultr
    • Oop, so it is. Gosh. That IS clever and just wouldn't work the other way around. I rescind my doubt, Baskerville!detritus
