Lykke Li is a Swedish singer-songwriter. Her music often blends elements of pop, indie rock and electronic; various instruments can also be found in her songs, including violins, synthesizers, tambourines, trumpets, saxophones and cellos.
Research, discussion and simply listening to the album helped to ignite an idea for Lykke Li’s album release. With such upbeat music it was a must to use bright colors. The catch was the main theme of the record, a break-up. The combination of happy colors with an upsetting topic proved to be a challenge.
The final outcome was a hexagon broken into many bright and colorful triangles. The colors to represent Lykke Li and her fun music. The broken hexagon pieces to represent the broken pieces of the relationship that she sings about. The final album and cd sleeves were screen printed on a cream cardstock. A special edition album sleeve was also screen printed on wood.
