2035 is the debut album of the fictitious band Anecdoche, centered on documenting and preserving the memory of a lived-in space. The project is rooted in observations of my own house, using familiar rooms, objects, and small details as visual anchors for the album’s world.
The goal was to create a visual identity that feels personal without being overly literal, translating everyday environments into a cohesive album aesthetic. The artwork explores anticipatory nostalgia and how memory attaches to space, capturing quiet, in-between moments that feel insignificant in real time but become meaningful in retrospect.
custom mockups
Finding quality gatefold mockup templates that matched the tone of the album was proving to be a challenge, so I shifted directions and created my own. By shooting original photos and leveraging my Photoshop skills to build custom mockups, I was able to place the album design in a more realistic, lived-in context that better reflected the project’s concept and atmosphere.
