SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE COVER
Toni Braxton and Babyface’s
LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE
Redesign by Darren Melchiorre/Rotic Design. www.roticdesign.com
I actually like the album cover design for the new Toni Braxton and Babyface duets albums, LOVE, MARRIAGE & DIVORCE. Although the stark silhouette photo is something we have all seen before, it works here in beginning to tell their story. But, again, it’s been done, so why not find a new visual to tell the story in a deeper way. I wanted to give these songs a new symbol to represent this concept. So much can be said about torn lace that I thought this would be the perfect image in creating the album cover. Marriages can be strong, romantic, and passionate yet fragile and vulnerable, just as lace can be…so that’s where I began.
