Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure Album cover redesign

Nujabes / Fat Jon - Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure Album cover redesign 🍶

Happy New year everyone. 2018 was full of new challenges and without a doubt 2019 will bring even more of them.

I decided to redesign the cover of some of my favorite albums.
Samurai Champloo soundtrack is one of them. I fell in love with this album the first time I listened to it. It's laid back and positive beats remind me on spring when everything blooms after the long winter months.
I tried to create an entirely new cover that would still resemble the vibe that this album has. I included some of the elements from the original cover like lizard, tree and dominant blue color so that the new version still feels in some ways familiar.
I would like to hear from you what do you think. I am planning to create more album cover redesigns so stay tuned for more.
