this publication serves as visual documentation and personal reflection of what this album means to me as a both a listener and designer. i look to pay tribute to the care and vulnerability invested in the original piece created by adrienne lenker.
the first book i ever designed was inspired by lenker’s first solo studio album titled songs, which began my love for making books. a year and a half later, their second album titled bright future was released while i was tasked with researching large bodies of text and how they can be recirculated and it only felt natural to take inspiration from a piece with such power lyrics and to revisit lenker’s work from a more developed standpoint as a designer.
