Gallery label
These sketches trace the design journey from drawing to finished product, exposing the designer's thinking process on the page. Designers develop a visual concept which then meets the practical considerations of the layout, text, and how the sleeve looks in the crowded shelves of a record store. Verhoeven's drawing creates a story from small details.(2019)
