OVERVIEW

The cover art for Ryan-O'Neil's Love in 3 Acts, a conceptual three-song single, visually represents the project's central theme. The music blends Hip-Hop, Reggae, Pop, and Folk, creating a sound that moves fluidly across genres. Each song reflects a different stage of a romantic relationship: happiness, uncertainty, and the end.

Ryan wanted the artwork to clearly express these three stages, leading to a design centered around three hearts—one whole, one breaking, and one broken. A vivid, colorful background contrasts with bold black elements, drawing attention to the hearts and text. This approach highlights the emotional journey expressed through the music.
