There is no commercial intention behind this work.
What began as a remake of the album cover evolved into a hypothetical campaign for a future re-release of Back to Black. It incorporates lyric fragments from the songs, reframing the album as more than a celebrated record. It is positioned instead as a reflection on the themes Amy voiced so openly: depression, loneliness, and sensitivity in an often shallow industry.
“Why was it easier to call her chaotic than to call her lonely? Or troubled over sensitive?” Her struggles were no secret. She openly addressed them through her music while the media often focused on the surface.
This dual music and social campaign advocates for empathy, particularly around mental health and addiction. It also challenges the role of designers, not just as communicators but as cultural agents. Through this I seek to affirm “Graphic design should always be social design.”
In memory of Amy Winehouse with respect and admiration from a big fan.
