Original Album Cover

Artist: Ha Hyun Sang

Korean singer-songwriter /Band Musician

Album: The Egde

Past Covers Research

  • His previous album covers usually feature a simple and clean design. Two of his album covers apply oil painting to express the beautiful artistic conception just as his healing voice and some of them apply simple but vast landscape photos as the cover. From an overall perspective, his past covers express a peaceful and healing vibe. 
  • Ha Hyunsang is a Korean singer known for his soulful and emotional vocal style. His music is often characterized by its heartfelt and introspective lyrics and powerful and expressive singing.                                           
  • Ha Hyunsang has a diverse fanbase that includes vocal enthusiasts, musiclovers, fans of emotional performances, and even K-pop enthusiasts. I am one of his fans because I love how he conveys his deepest thoughts with his delicate and healing voice, and another point is that he is a good story-teller although I don’t understand Korean, I just fall into his voice whenever listen to his music, and after learning the meaning by translating into my language can never get tired of it.

My Redesign Procedure

Design Concept

I keep his simple and clean design but add some vintage elements such as film or letters to fit his traits of being a great storyteller through his emotion-filled singing voice.

Recreating Ha Hyunsang’s album cover with a film filter and oil painting as the main visual means using a unique effect that gives a vintage look, like an old photograph, and adding artistic textures. This combination can make the cover look unique and evoke strong emotions. The film filter adds a timeless feel, while the oil painting elements bring depth and richness to the image. Overall, it can result in a beautiful and expressive album cover that represents Ha Hyunsang’s music and style, and express a peaceful and healing vibe just
like his past works do.
