PRAYERS IN SPIRAL

Strip Joint 3作目のアルバムとなる『PRAYERS IN SPIRAL』のジャケット、歌詞カード、CD盤面のデザインを担当した。すでに依頼時には大塚健太郎さんによる写真が存在した。写真だけで十分良いのではないか……と思いつつ、そうもいかないので塔を囲むように構成を考えた。SPIRAL、らせん、ぐるぐるしているなにか、ということであえてすべて大文字としたスクリプト書体。CDの盤面は記録面の銀盤の色を活かしてシルク白1色。

Graphic design for the jacket, lyric booklet, and CD for “PRAYERS IN SPIRAL,” the third album by Strip Joint. At the time of the request, the photographs taken by Kentaro Otsuka already existed. While I wondered if the photos alone might be good enough, that wasn't an option, so I came up with a composition that surrounds the tower. To represent “SPIRAL,” or something going around in circles, I intentionally used an all-caps script typeface. For the CD, I utilized the silver color of the recording side and printed it in a single color of white silk screen.
