Behind The Covers


Many people have admired the designs for the covers of both the albums by Sanjo and Chandrani – the new album Ham Se Hi Hai Yeh Sab released in 2015 and Barson Huey released in 2005 and re-released in 2015. The assumption was that the covers were designed by Sanjo, who in addition to being a musician is also a creative professional with an advertising, designing and brand communication background. However, this assumption is wrong. The covers were, in fact, designed by Chandrani.

A lesser known fact about Chandrani is that she is an amateur photographer and an avid traveller. The photographs that adorn the covers of the two albums were taken by Chandrani on her pro camera during her visits to various picturesque locations across India.

When the two albums were being uploaded on OK Listen, the music site required the cover art in a particular format and size. The designs had to be completed and ready for upload overnight. Since no designers were around to work at such short notice, Chandrani stepped up, selected two photographs from her collection and designed the covers.
