Frank Zappa

Frank Zappa was a legendary artist who cannot be described as one thing. He was a guitarist, producer, activist, politician, etc. He was also one of few musicians who went beyond all kinds of genres and created more than 60 albums in his entire life. It’s hard to define him or his music in a single word because he was cross-disciplinary.

I focused on a more subtle, metaphorical, and restrained approach to reflect his essence. Lines were used as the main graphic element, serving as a metaphor for his indefinability, appearing fluidly throughout the cover and interior pages. The book’s overall design embraces minimalism, with a black-and-white color scheme, a single typeface, and a limited use of imagery.
