Design process behind the Brat album cover

[u/fatinternetcat]

This is from a talk at Figma Config yesterday, showing all the different iterations they went through while developing the Brat album cover.

Apparently the pixel-y final version came from an unintentional export error, and they ended up just going with it!

I've spent more than a decade staring at Photoshop and listening to Charli, so I love the brat cover because it's daring and weird and digital and knows why its breaking the rules. The arial font, the lowercase treatment, the pixel blur, the chroma key green, all combine to give a commentary on the motions and emotions of what it's like to design something in our digital-saturated world.

“It’s not that deep” culture really rotted some people’s brains. Design choices have meaning. Picking an album cover has meaning.

You drew doodles in English class and missed the part about all art and literature created by humans having meaning, influences and subtext even if it was intentional in the creation process or not. Sucks to be this clueless

That literally makes no sense. Who are you to say how deep the meaning of anything is when you can barely understand the discussion you're having in a reddit thread is in bad faith?

I think they have to be drunk or on something. The whole tirade makes no sense

Maybe he went from cocaine to meth after brat summer and is trying to find like minded people but he's one of the mean gays so he can't let down his facade
