Picture sitting in a room with your favourite band , musicians who you consider legends . Now imagine actually using your field of expertise to work side by side with the people you idolize . That ’ s exactly the feeling Arjun Rajkishore and Abijit Vivek of Arkwerk were experiencing while creating the now iconic album art of the ultra-talented Blackstratblues album The Last Analog Generation .
Having started out creating the T-shirt design for the 10th anniversary of the band ’ s first album , “ Nights in Shining Karma ”, Arjun got the opportunity to work on the artwork of the new album they were working on then . “ I really wanted to attempt a photo route for this - it was something I ' ve never done before , and we had only 1 day to actually do it , and it * definitely * wouldn ' t have been possible without my cousin Abijit Vivek who actually shot the album cover .”, say Arjun . Having had just one day to create the album art , Arjun and Abijit had to come up with a DIY contraption to use as a tripod to attain the perfect height to shoot the rack at Warren Mendonsa ’ s home studio .
An artist always seems to throw in a bunch of nods and references while creating an artwork , and Arjun is no exception . He has riddled the album art with Easter eggs which adds more character to the album art and are references that would put a smile on the fans faces . “ The 11:11 in the center is their daughter Nia ' s birthday . 004 next to the album title is because it ' s their 4th album . Crystal Echoes on the bottom panel was also a setting used in the album itself !”, says Arjun while getting excited himself .
A digital product designer and a graphic designer in the music industry , Arkwerk ’ s process of creation is a constantly evolving one . “ I approach most of the work I do the same way I approach an app design or a web design project . I try and get into the mind of the artist as much as I possibly can , and then work with them constantly to put out a finished product .”
