A.D. Kessler - Cobalt Blue, 2024
Art Direction / Typography / Photography
Cobalt Blue is the debut solo album by Chicago-based singer/songwriter, A.D. Kessler. He wanted the album’s jazz adjacent sound to extend to the visuals. The album and single covers were inspired by the vibrant typography found throughout the Blue Note catalog, as well as the restrained minimalism of ECM album covers. All photographs were shot in Chicago, IL in March 2024 on a single roll of 35mm film.
