Album artwork of the week: 'Album Cover Cover'

This week we've picked something a little different for our album art of the week. While graphic designers often takes weeks, even months, painstakingly perfectly their album designs, Bruno Leo Ribero, a Brazilian art director living and working in Finland, has taken an altogether different approach.

The project combines his two passions, for design and music, he adds. "The basic thinking is to keep me practicing and improving my design and art direction skills and also, have a new experience of listening music."

He's begun with new covers for album he knows well; "but the challenge in the future it will be to put an album that I haven't listened before, put it to play, and design based on my visual interpretation of the album." If you're wondering how he manages to work so quickly, his site also features making of videos.
