I designed an album cover every week for 6 months

Over the past 26 weeks, I have been redesigning an album cover for my favorite hardcore bands for each letter of the alphabet.
This graphic design series has been such a valuable experience for me as a graphic designer and enjoyer of good music, I was inspired to take on this project as a part of ‪@struthless‬ ALPHABET SUPERSET brief, so shoutout to Cam!
After working on these for 6 months or so, I wanted to dive deeper into some of the album cover designs with you all and go over 3 big lessons I learned throughout this project.

As someone who designed a lot of fake covers, this is absolutely beautiful and the process is so rich and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@JesseNyberg]

Appreciate that!

[@faeridah]

I love how you use scanning and printing in your designs

[@simonrangel4395]

[@langsothearith1948]

I’m inspired to do my own some sort of challenge now! Thank you for this video jesse lots of love!❤🎉

[@JesseNyberg]

Goodluck!

[@ellacaterini5297]

You made INSANE progress throughout this. I was wowed at the beginning and I was absolutely blown AWAY by the end. Your negative space is so insane my favorites were zulu, cold world, and underdog. I would 100% pick them up in a record store

[@JesseNyberg]

Thank you so much!

[@wyzar202]

Cool shit man, i'm illustrator but been loving to watch poster/cover design's lately which inspired me to create some as well!

[@lukehoughtonart601]

love that your experimenting with different design techniques and really pushing yourself stylistically. keep it up!

[@alearck]

so much inspirations in one video it's unreal!!!

[@user-yl1ut6wu1w]

I love your work sir. I've been following you for months now and your life and work is a major source of inspiration to me

[@nurek1080]

[@userme1237]

you inspire many!!

[@EposVox]

Love this

[@Twistedslop62]

Learning a lot from you. Thank you!!! Everything I do is almost exclusively digital. How do you recommend I get away from that? I like the organic approach you have with your designs.

[@abenezergetachew3300]

Thanks Jesse! This has really sparked some ideas that I’m gonna pursue. But how do you tackle copyright issues on passion projects?

[@Eryionification]

Knocked Loose!? Hell yeah

[@rdjavi]

Great inspiration and music choice of course, I am also a fellow punk/hc fan. Keep up the good work. p.s. I am literally finishing a vinyl cover for my friends album. This video came in the right time, both as inspiration and motivation.

[@JesseNyberg]

Much love, Goodluck on the cover!

[@andycarrillo48]

Under 2 minutes in! Lit af. I was going to do music but I have ear issues so I’m trying to do something different. Idk if this is my lane but I’m going take a class for graphic design, I guess with animation or if it’s with graphic design then dope, but I want to put movements on the designs too. I fuck with the album cover. I used to rap and sing and make beats and go on beats and try to mix my vocal, went into some genres so I would like to understand the aspects of stuff better. I never learned properly with music so maybe that’s another reason I got fucked up ears. Reverse hearing loss cure tinnitus Cure middle ear/inner ear diseases.

[@chrisscreven1931]

I see you do a lot of Baltimore covers. I’m from Baltimore and think that’s super lit.

[@JesseNyberg]

Baltimore HxC been going crazy!

[@maki8659]

Could we get a link for your spotify playlists maybe? tbh i'm super interested in what you listen to, i would like to start listening to more punk and hardcore music

[@SusanLees]

Just coming from your unfiltered thoughts video: I've heard to leave your work when you have more to write and not when you hit a writer's block from Haruki Murakami during his reading I went to at Berkeley. Let me know if that sounds familiar!

[@wessel4958]

what texture do you use to get that grungy look at the edges of the covers, to make it look worn or used

[@dv1nce]

hell yeah, didn't realize you were into hardcore Nyberg!

[@eratrial]

When I saw the Incendiary one, I just knew it was Jake

[@lenochodiponozka2124]
