ALBUM COVER | Chora, Princesa!

O álbum “Chora, Princesa! – Um Painel do Choro Contemporâneo de Juiz de Fora” é, sobretudo, um documento que registra, entre 1997 e 2019, um pouco do que se tem feito de Choro na cidade. Para a capa e seus desdobramentos, buscamos usar elementos reconhecidos como parte da identidade de Juiz de Fora. A paleta de cores é uma adaptação das cores da bandeira, e a ilustração faz referência ao estilo predominante em suas construções históricas, o Art Decó, além de representar partes desses prédios e até as luminárias de uma das principais ruas do centro.


The album “Chora, Princesa! -  Um Painel do Choro Contemporâneo de Juiz de Fora” is, above all, a document that registers a little of what has been done about Choro in the city of Juiz de Fora (Brazil) between 1997 and 2019. 
For the cover and other artwork, we used elements that are part of the identity of Juiz de Fora. The color palette is an adaptation of the flag's colours, and the illustration refers to the predominant style in its historic buildings, Art Decó, in addition to representing parts of these buildings and even the lamps on one of the main streets downtown.​​​​​​​

CUSTOM LETTERING FOR THE TITLE AND DATES

All of the text in the cover was drawn especially for this project and exported as a font file for better flexibility on adapting the artwork to different formats such as the round disc.
