Bold, childlike creatures and masks drawn with a thick, restless line and filled with raw unmixed color, crowding the page edge to edge.

Create a finished square album cover, in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Produce the front cover artwork itself, without a vinyl sleeve, jewel case, shelf, or room mockup. COVER TEXT Use the following release information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the cover; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra text. Artist: Ita Vibes Sound Title: Dub Plates Vol. 1 Label: Dolores Tapes ART DIRECTION Interpret the supplied brief in CoBrA style. Visual vocabulary: childlike or mythic figures with bold outlines; vivid flat or semi-flat colour applied with visible energy; heavy gestural line that defines form expressively; animal, mask, and totemic imagery; composition without Western academic perspective. Lettering direction: hand-painted or roughly stencilled title; text integrated into the image rather than set formally. Suggested colors: vivid unmodulated colours — cobalt, vermillion, ochre, viridian, black, white. Composition: figure or figures filling the field; text in a bold painted band. Atmosphere: raw, mythic, child-like vigour, post-war energy, Nordic. Keep out of the design: Swiss or Bauhaus rational geometry, photographic realism, decorative polish, artificial yellowing or ageing. Apply the visual language to the supplied brief; do not invent historical affiliations, endorsements, or extra copy. ILLUSTRATION NOTES A wide-eyed painted lion mask with a thick restless outline filling the square. These notes guide the imagery; do not print them as text. Make the artist name and title the strongest text elements and keep all other text minimal and small, as on a real record sleeve. Check spelling and retain the supplied wording. Do not include these instructions, labels, watermarks, or extra slogans in the artwork.
