The cure - war song
This project is a 7” record sleeve design based on Warsong by The Cure. The song explores themes of constant arguing and conflict, with lyrics like “Poison in our blood,” “Bitter ends,” and “We tell each other lies” inspiring the use of snakes as they are sly and their venom is poisonous. The snakes are depicted in conflict. The lyrics “No way out of this” inspired the image of a winding snake blended with a mouth, representing inner turmoil, cyclical arguing and the repeated lyrics in the song.
The sleeve features an augmented reality element, activated by a QR code. This connects the physical artwork with a digital experience for the viewer to explore further.
