This time it looks quite real! While everyone is keeping their expectations, Aidan will take you to take a look at the classic album cover designs of Jay Chou’s classic album covers!
Jay Chou's previous album cover award
found some small surprises in design
Another version of "JAY" cover, the style of painting is more enigmatic. This version of Jay Chou wanders in the music world, and his design floating in the air can better represent the album's imaginative musical style.
The second album " Fantasy ", Fantasy's name is the transliteration of the English word "Fantasy", meaning "fantasy" and "imagination". The cover design cover is mainly "black + red", giving people a cool and serious atmosphere overall. Jay Chou, wearing a red hoodie on the cover, had a sharp look, which also became one of his classic looks in everyone's hearts.
The third album " Octave Space ", the most eye-catching thing is that the left side is like a skeleton picture that is seen through by X-ray , giving people a sense of science fiction and is very eye-catching. "8 degrees" refers to the octave in music. The octave contains all the sounds in the twelve rhythms. Jay Chou sets the album as an octave space, which also reflects his personal musical sacred space where he can play with music freely. Interestingly, there is an easter egg hidden on this cover, and the numbers on the ruler match Jay Chou’s height.
The cover design of the fourth album " Ye Huimei " is directed by the well-known designer Nie Yongzhen . Many classic album designs born in the Chinese music scene were written by him. The cover design adopts a symmetrical composition, and the light and dark light treatment makes the face contour three-dimensional and clear. The biggest easter egg hidden in this album is the hanging painting on the wall, which uses in-picture to reflect the mystery of the entire design.
The fifth album " Qilixiang ", in the cover, Jay Chou and the little girl holding a bear stood in the green suburbs everywhere. It should have been a fresh and warm picture, but the cover gives people a serious and solemn feeling. In fact, the theme of this album is anti-war. When you open the album, you will find that the inner pages are full of photos of the war environment.
The sixth album "Chopin in November" echoes the album name, paired with the artistic serif font , the cover reveals a sense of Western classical déjà. Whether it is the dress of the characters or the arrangement of the scene, the tones of the entire background, you can feel the full classical atmosphere.
The seventh album " Still Fantesey ", is still a familiar light and shadow processing, with a large number of black areas on the character's neck, integrating the album name and other text information.
The eighth album " I'm very busy ", which is a funny and relaxed style. The cover changed the heaviness of the previous albums, and used bright colors to create a light and pleasant atmosphere, perfectly fitting the artistic conception of the title song "The Cowboy is Busy".
The ninth album " Magic Master ", the traces of "PS" are really very heavy.
The tenth album " Cross-Era " cover concept is a vampire image, and the cover design is mainly cool colors. The original intention of this album cover is to express the concept of nobleness and coldness, but except for the song that crosses the era, other songs have no meaning at all.
The eleventh album " Exclamation Mark ", the cover incorporates illustration style design, adding rich and interesting cute elements. This is the cover with the smallest character among all Jay Chou’s albums. There are many small details on the picture, and the "J" scattered in every corner also reflects the designer's intention. It is worth mentioning that this album won the Best Album Packaging Award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards at that time.
The cover of the twelfth album "Twelve New Works", I won't make too many comments! The cover has a strong dark and dreamy feeling, and the font layout is also messy...
The thirteenth album " Ouch Not Not bad ", with the theme of "Salute to Chaplin ", the cover design has a comedic atmosphere. At the same time, it echoed Jay Chou’s own first album in the design.
The fourteenth album " Jay Chou's Bedside Story ", with a gorgeous style and a fairy tale atmosphere. The designer designed the entire album into the story book held by Jay Chou on the cover, a three-dimensional book that can open up magical castles and all kinds of strange things, which is very consistent with the theme and full of creativity.
In addition to the above fourteen albums, Jay Chou has also released three EP albums: "Fantesey PLUS", "Looking for Jay Chou", and " Huo Yuanjia ". Standing in today's aesthetic perspective, looking back at Jay Chou's album cover, although some of the covers are not beautiful enough, the quality of the music inside is still very resistant to blows.
Bright album cover can always catch people's eyes
In the physical album market, after the arrival of the digital download era, our enthusiasm for album design may not be as high as before, but whether it is in the past or present, a bright album cover can always catch people's eyes quickly.
Nowadays, many emerging design forces have emerged in different styles, injecting a lot of new impetus into the album binding design industry. Let me take a brief look at the album cover design of "Just want to listen to music just by looking at the cover", both old and current.
