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!

[@caterini20]

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!

[@langsothearith1948]

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

[@JesseNyberg]

Goodluck!

[@simonrangel4395]

babe wake up my fave graphic designer is here

[@alicevidal9928]

the word for this really is inspiring

[@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!

[@nurek1080]

there is too much of great design to choose 1 of them as favourite - you really snapped on this man I'm grateful for inspiration

[@WaveIndex_]

Love these! That Sunami cover is insane. Also you have a top tier taste in music my man

[@lukehoughtonart601]

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

[@Smifarr]

Awesome project, thankyou for sharing.

[@suemcarthur105]

fantastic, you are a real inspiration

[@otoyokarlsson]

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

[@Eryionification]

Knocked Loose!? Hell yeah

[@alearck]

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

[@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!

[@nathanchalker9610]

Absolutely sick stuff bro

[@LittleFlame93]

Have heart is my favorite but they all turned out super great!

[@EposVox]

Love this

[@a3a2_m]

this is so sick and inspiring! thx for sharing

[@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.

[@C13los]

Love it man!! Thanks for what you do!! I want to do this and challenge myself!!

[@faeridah]

I love how you use scanning and printing in your designs

[@cooper6614]

30 minute videos 👏 love to see it

[@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!

[@dv1nce]

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

[@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!

[@therealtimmaytheturtle]

Here from insta, this is fuckin sick dude

[@eratrial]

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

[@userme1237]

you inspire many!!

[@abenezergetachew3300]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@jeremygordonstudio]

I tried printing on vellum and it just jammed my printer because it was too thin 😭 Cool-looking techniques though!

[@lenochodiponozka2124]

in which program do you make these presentations?

[@sahashra_real]

I had the same idea of designing fan album art covers for some of my favorite artist (some albums are not released yet) is it legally okay to design such fan album art covers and post them online? Is there any legal background or can we just mention it as a fan album art and are we fine?

[@wessel4958]

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

[@imhassan9119]

🥶

[@anxietydisk]

so it's all punk poster lol again

[@darkxerer]

[@berrycade]

[@monsteralfie]

[@maryamabumaash2583]
