阮千瑞设计的唱片封面 Ruan Qianrui: Album Design
By Liu Kai, 2010年 12月 8日
阮千瑞,平面设计师,八〇后,现居住生活工作于北京。他也是一个狂热的音乐爱好者,因此理所当然也负责唱片的平面设计和包装以及现场演出海报的设计。
从〇五年至今阮设计过众多不同音乐领域的唱片平面包装设计。有许多的实验唱片(李增辉,折磨护士,张守望, 大忘杠和颜峻等)也有民谣摇滚类(万晓利)的唱片设计。最近万能青年旅店乐队发行的首张专辑也是出自于他手。乐队专辑巡演首发北京站于本月11日在Mao livehouse表演,希望在北京的朋友也别错过(看看豆瓣页面)。
This is the first of a two-part series featuring the amazing design work of Ruan Qianrui. Ruan is originally from Hubei province and has been living and working in Beijing since 2002. If you’ve tuned into Chinese underground music any time from 2005 on, you’ve probably seen his work. He’s created iconic designs for albums by Li Zenghui, Torturing Nurse, Zhang Shouwang, Da Wang Gang, Yan Jun, and Wan Xiaoli, among others.
在他大部分的平面作品里,可以看到他喜欢运用不同的纸质材料,在色彩上可能并不会有太多花样,可很善于高反差的效果表现,也喜欢尝试不同的字体。万能青年旅店乐队这张专辑他说用了老毛的字体。
Most recently, he designed the cover and insert of the debut cd from Hebei’s Omnipotent Youth Society, who will be performing at Mao Livehouse on Saturday: view douban event page.
