Looking at Hassan Rahim's work for Jaques Greene's 'Feel Infinite', I am really inspired by his visuals. I think that his way of blocking together images and creating compositions is really communicative of the techno genre - the repetition of images and type along with the bright colours. I think this is a great example of the kind of image treatment I want to achieve. I talked about layers in previous post - I think that if my images were communicating jazz, then the colours could communicate techno very much like they do here.
Rahim also wrote a whole twitter thread about the production of the design, and it was really interesting to see what inspired him. Apparently, it was really important to capture where the artist was from, as well as his family and friends. So, this is what Rahim took abstract photos of and then 'formally abstracted' even further using Photoshop. I think that this is a really good way of getting across a full sense of environment. I could, bring back some of my photos that I took at the Jazz club and use them in a similar way to visually communicate a Jazz environment.
One thing that I am most inspired by is the way that Rahim has created this visual identity for the whole album that spans much further than the cover design itself. The visuals are in use for the singles, posters, the booklet within the album, and even music videos. This has definitely given me an idea of how to create a visual identity that can cover the entire vinyl as well as the flag, and how they can work together.
