So yeah…I designed Nickelback’s album

Post by facefirst »

It’s true. They came up with the concept of ‘70s-‘80s iron decals vibe. My concept was quite different but this was fun. They’re actually very cool dudes. I’m not a fan of their music but will probably hang with them when they come to town.

Anyways, here’s the art. Have a bunch of merch for them that will be trickling out. LOTS of Van drawings!

If I didn't know who Nickelback was, I'd take a chance and buy that album based on the artwork! Looks awesome!!!

They sent over all their songs way before they were released. Art Director said give it a listen if I need inspiration. I said “nah, I’m good!”

Thanks to all you guys. Honestly, it was a fun project and I’m excited for the other stuff coming out. NB and their management are incredibly nice and fun.

How do I say this nicely? Do not buy anything from Nickelback expecting something like Fu Manchu.
