Unklejam: Unklejam
A perfect look for a modern ‘electro-soul’ band gaining its inspiration from 70’s P funk. What I particularly like about this cover is how real it looks. You can instictively tell straight away that the image wasn’t generated by a computer, that it was created by hand.
Rachel Thomas created the sets out of materials ranging in texture from styrofoam to perspex. Still life photographer Dan Tobin Smith lit and shot the objects. Design and the custom typeface for the band was created by Andrew Murabito.

that’s funny, the first thing I thought of was how computer generated it looks. that’s cool as hell that it’s not, as it has that blocky, shape-oriented texture map quality. nice find. (great as always)

I want proof to that this is not a 3D render. “Created in Perspex. Letters were suspended in front of the lips which stood approx 5 foot high.”
Seriously now. Why do that, if it still looks like a 3D render??

Just googled Rachel. Mindblowing stuff. Too bad this perticular cover could have been a 3D render just as well…
Her other stuff is really loads better. Mindblowing.
