The Cow

Client: Sarmalele reci

CD cover

The CD cover design of Sarmalele Reci new album starts and revolves around one word: cow. The group leader and vocal singer could not take from his head the word and suddenly it became an obsessive topic, not just for the song title.

Alexandru Schiopu was invited to design the cover on this theme. Giving a sense of humor to the whole concept, he illustrates with witty remarks an entire repertoire of items related with the cow life. On the front cover he puts an illustration with the vocal group face having the hair like green grass and a cow on top which stares at the viewer. On the interior, a cowbell indicates the songs of the new album. A traffic sign warning of the cow appearance introduces the group members. The CD label is pictured like leather, while the words of each song are separated by interrupted lines reminding of a "how to chop a cow for its meat' drawing.
