"Emotional Roadshow" (front cover)
November 2017
The front cover for the project "Travel".
In school, I was tasked with creating a travel diary in eight pictures and a matching frontal and back cover. Rather than showing the conventional idea, which comes to mind when hearing travelling, I decided to travel through the mind. Specfically a journey of someone suffering from chronic depression. The albums of the band twenty one pilots served as inspiration for the journey shown in the eight papers. Each page was inspired by one or more songs, which touch on depression and the person affected.
The collage on the front cover shows the band members, Tyler Joseph, the singer and Josh Dun, the drummer and extracts from interviews they have given. The writing underneath the ribbon reads "Emotional Roadshow", which describes the journey of a person suffering from chronic depression and is also the name of their most recent tour. The drawing, created using black fineliners over the collage is a man's face, which shows the beginning of the journey and it's main character. Behind the eyes of the drawn figure is a part of a photo of white sunglasses, which Tyler frequently wears at concerts and music videos and thus an important part of his appearance. The colours as well as their clothes mirror the aethetic of their latest album "Blurryface" and reoccur throughout the music videos, appearance and tours. The bright red and black, both menacing colours, contrast each other and yet compliment each other, making them unique and memorable to the observer.
