I was recently approached by a French band, Jim Rose Expedition, who asked me to design the album cover for their upcoming release, L’Orée du Temps (The Edge of Time).
I had so many ideas, but the word "expédition" (expedition) really stood out to me. I immediately thought, "I’ll definitely use some of Jules Verne's books as inspiration." Voyage au Centre de la Terre (Journey to the Center of the Earth), Cinq Semaines en Ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) by Georges Méliès all influenced the final design, especially the distinctive cover designs of the Hetzel editions, which guided my creative direction
By merging these influences, I created a design that captures the essence of the band's spirit and vision, blending their unique musical identity with the theme of exploration.
