The Iron Giant

concept album for original soundtrack

The Iron Giant is one of my favourite films, not only because it's visually beautiful, but also because its story focuses on all the big scary things - friendship and hate, life and death.

I was inspired by Cold War design, as the Cold War is a major theme and drives the film's plot. The cover is derived from the film's nighttime scenes, which use many silhouettes, and focus on the stars and sky as a motif, whereas the record slips focus on the characters and sets, taking their autumnal colour palate from the daytime scenes.

I aimed for the design to be simultaneously reminiscent of the film and unique.
