ALBUM ART CRUSH | Dye, "Cocktail Citron"

"Cocktail Citron" is the 2014 album by eclectic electronic French musician Juan de Guillebon, better known as DyE. I guess the album cover really lends it visual to "citron" in its title - look at that mouth-watering yellow of a plexiglass!


Designed by Marc Armand (who goes by the moniker Tu Sais Qui, or French for "Who Are You") with front cover photography by Jack Fisher, the design of the album was based on the look of the manga Dragonball Z, with its distinct speech and action bubbles. On the cover, the manga's influence continues on to the artist's name and album title, where they given Japanese-stylised typefaces.

Throughout the design, the brights of the pink and yellow ooze character while still sitting back for the black and white illustrations to shine.
