Does your OAC (original album cover) use official visual language or unofficial visual language? How does this choice relate to the core values of your artist and/or this particular record? Invert the authority of the language while still expressing a relevant message about this album and this recording.
My interpretation:
The OAC does try to seem "unofficial" (thus cool, hip, whatever you wanna call it) but does fall into the realm of the official language of album covers. It's made to sell, it falls into industry rather than exploitation.

My "redesign":
While I am no chalk artist, I drew the album cover on the pavement in sidewalk chalk.
This makes it in the realm of unofficial language, rather than the official language of album covers.
I chose chalk because of the logo of the original OAC. It appears almost chalk-ish.
(Yay for rain.)
