This project is an exploration in the art of reduction. It breaks down album imagery into its purist form by discarding any unnecessary information. This is achieved using a strict grid that displays the relevant album details, which leaves a central void to convey a response to the album. This void is filled by Duane Dalton‘s personal response to an album. It can be influenced by a key track, the cover art or the overall flavour of the album.
