Getz/Gilberto

Record Cover

I designed a record cover for two singles off the 1964 jazz-bossa nova album, Getz/Gilberto. The songs were Corcovado and The Girl From Ipanema. I drew most of my inspiration from feelings of the songs themselves, and the original abstract album cover. I like to describe the songs as a candle light dinner during sunset at a beach. It is somber in tone, but very hopeful in expression. The design is a dark landscape with signs of energy and light.
