Final Redesign of Rage Against the Machine's 1996 Album Evil Empire.

Starting from this sketch and inspired by the recent design challenge of Ten Hundred I wanted to create my own spin on this Classic Album

Started with finalizing the sketch and colors to give it a bold look inspired by propaganda posters of the old Soviet and Cold war eras.

Then brought in some framing similar to my sketch with more precise measurements and did an off white to really bring in the propaganda feel.

Brought in some additional background elements and textures to give it a weathered and grungy feel that is felt in all Rage Against the Machine Albums. 

Putting it together

Then Finalized additional texture and a simplified vinyl back. added a nice paper texture to mimic flyers that had been passed around. Then put it together and mocked it up!
