In 2002, I was bestowed the great honor of designing the artwork to accompany a soundtrack album by Japanese singing superstar Mari Iijima.
The soundtrack is an accompaniment to the 2001 remaster of the 1922 silent film classic “Lorna Doone.” Ms. Iijima ws commissioned by the film’s restorer, Jesse Pierce, to compose and record this completely new orchestral score for the film.
My approach to the design was to play off of the aged film look, creating a sepia-tone color palette and using dust, scratches, and other elements to mimic film damage.
The inside of the booklet features an impression of the original 1922 film poster.
The photo of Ms. Iijima was provided by her and is by Ken Hagler.
Ms. Iijima was kind enough to sign this soft-proof of the cover artwork for me.
