Missal - Record Cover

This album cover design is for Caedmon’s solo release titled Missal. A Missal is type of holy book used by clergy for teaching, and Caedmon’s music for this album has a very digital sound. The concept was to take some of the iconography from illuminated manuscripts; blackletter and gold embellishments, and create a modern design out of them. I traced over floral patterns from an old book to create the boarders, only replacing the organic shapes with hard geometric ones. This mockup shows what the album would look like pressed in a dull gold foil.
