In Love and War - Francis Magalona & Ely Buendia
We wanted to take the visual approach and overall concept to something that's not too heavy, since the album title is already strong. We used elements that would represent both love and war - a tin-can heart and toy soldiers which are both contradicting element that we wanted to be combined. There is a lot of possibility when it comes to the representation of the elements which makes it more interesting. You can take it literally (toys inside a container) or it can be conflicts related to emotions that you keep hiding....We also decided to just use the color white to make it more atmospheric, airy and focused more on the "love" and "war" aspect.
Here it is! I hope you grab your copy and enjoy! Painted with love by Inksurge, shot @ Team Manila Studios (thanks to Momon and Bimbo!) We also liked to thank Ely Buendia, Day Cabuhat, Vic Valenciano and Mario Joson for trusting us for this special project.
Hirap itayo nito! Promise!
