I initially didn’t plan to update this blog post, but since the official artwork was surprisingly “ toothless“, I changed my mind. The one score that initiated my true love for film music is back in full remastered glory. It’s an awesome design I immediately got hooked on, so my custom cover treatment was inevitable.Ĭhristmas 2016 is coming early with La-La Land Records’ recently released John Williams Jurassic Park Collection. I was lucky to grab a few textures from this site and based the whole concept on this Jurassic Park Explorer poster by deviantART user “Boomerjinks”.
The second one (#7) was inspired by the tour vehicle from the film, the Jurassic Park Explorer. Oddly enough, but the last two customs are based on objects and come along a little more lighter and uplifting than the rest of the bunch. For once a “boxed” version of the score (#6), based on the Jurassic Park Adventure Pack DVD. For the album credits I used the original font, yet I designed it in style of the respective background image specifically as a three-dimensional, floating object (#4) and as painted letters (#5). Unfortunately I don’t know the source of the first image, but the second one was created by deviantART user “ Muldoon85“. So the first two of the remaining three covers (#4, #5) are customizations of the original score artwork with different wallpapers used as backgrounds. I considered to create more varying styles for this custom cover series, but that emblem is everything and anything you need to know about that film. It gives you the feeling as if it almost were a real theme park. It’s flawless and perfect! I love how Universal Studios entirely opted on in-story merchandising material to promote the real-life film. The colours, the radiuses, the font weighting and overall composition, every element is just on the spot. Speaking of the Jurassic Park logo, I think this is one of the most iconic images in cinema history. I ommited the Steven Spielberg credit from the first one to give the logo more space and maintain a balanced orientation. The two covers that follow (#2, #3) are variations of the original soundtrack artwork. Please view in full screen, since this one is in ridiculously high resolution. Although the entrance gate’s perspective is a little off, I find this image to be really successful. I wanted to make the font appear three-dimensional, like the surface it sits on. So I worked the official poster into a completely new soundtrack cover.
Geffen Records released the accompanying 20th Anniversary Edition Soundtrack, but surprisingly renounced a revision of the original artwork (maybe they liked the JP logo as much as I do).
I want to start this post with a custom soundtrack cover for the 3D re-release that opened in cinemas this summer (#1).
