Hello, my name is Denise Burt and I am a graphic artist and designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I have been designing for over 20 years – especially in the field of art music – and to date I’ve produced album art for more than 400 music releases.
“Burt’s thoughtfulness, imagination and visual variety is an insight into what can happen when label, composer and artist are working in creative synergy.”
– Tom Service, The Guardian“Burt’s graphics respond to the radical nature of the music within, as with In C and Timber with a visual shorthand that promises a sensual, emotional experience as well as an intellectual one.”
– Eye Magazine
Beyond album art, I also design books, posters, festival graphics, logos, concert programmes and more.
I believe in a pragmatic, empathic and honest approach to graphic design. This website showcases a small selection of projects. If you would like to gain more insight into my process and explore more projects, you can read my collection of illustrated short stories about designing album art for contemporary music on the website based on my book: www.seeingnewmusic.com.
