From Below - Single Artwork -Gritty Album Cover Design with Typography

Job ID: 40603301

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

Dark, gritty, cinematic aesthetic.
* Central focus is a large cracked mirror inside an abandoned industrial hallway or room.
* Monochrome/greyscale colour palette (no bright colours).
* Heavy grunge textures, scratches and distressed finish.
* Fluorescent lighting reflected in the mirror.
* Song title “FAULTLINE” (working title) vertically down the left-hand side in a bold distressed font.
* Band name “FROM BELOW” centred at the bottom.
* Around the mirror, subtle handwritten words on the walls (not full lyrics), including:
* DEAD WEIGHT
* NEVER ENOUGH
* NO RELEASE
* AGAIN AND AGAIN
* CYCLE OF FAILURE
* PROMISES BREAK
* The words should feel like intrusive thoughts written onto the walls rather than being the focus.

Style references:

* Modern metalcore artwork.
* Clean composition that still looks good as a small Spotify thumbnail.
* Atmospheric, cinematic and realistic rather than cartoon or comic-book style.
* No AI-looking artefacts or fantasy elements.

Deliverables:

* 3000x3000px minimum.
* PSD or layered source file.
* PNG and JPG exports.
* Commercial usage rights.

I’ve attached a rough concept/mock-up to show the layout I’m after. I’m not looking for an exact copy, but something with the same composition and overall feel, polished to a professional standard.
