Grandpeople

I hear you with the gloss paper. No problem. And with regards to the vector art, that's absolutely fine. Infact I've been looking a lot at the design company Grandpeople recently, really high quality design work with a brilliant awareness of composition. If I was an art director for The Frantic, I'd just hire Grandpeople to do this album cover. Slick glossy vector graphics that often have a liquid/fluid/dripping aesthetic - would work really well with the whole sweating thing - especially those that use flesh tones, which also remind me of the microscopic images of cells earlier.

A few examples:

Vagant (Literature Publication): Cover Art

---

Liquid Studies in Vector and Gradient (no client)

---

Juvelen - 1: Album Art

---

Skatebård - Love Attack: Album Art

They're good with figurative elements too - quite nice to see a mixture of the fluid graphics with some more grainy/sketchy figurative collage like the follow:


Fabrik Magazine: Illustrations
