Gentleman Jesse & His Men Ep

i thought this was a pretty cool concept for cover art on this new Gentlemen Jesse & His Men Ep. it's basically just a recreation of a Georgia drivers license, only it's been abstracted by the fold of the cover and in the process creates a nice random and kind of sparse layout. take a look at the front cover, i love that the photo lands just off center on the panel and you get that nice hint of type coming off the spine. man, that photo makes my face hurt...


the back panel is where all the type lives. all of the text has been altered to contain the necessary information in the same typeface and ordering style of the actual license. this panel is slightly off center as well thanks to the fold....


here is a shot of the whole cover unfolded...


A and B labels are standard issue for Hozac, but the yellow paper mixed with solid red vinyl actually looks pretty sweet...
