Description

Laura LiPuma Nash signed "Purple Rain" album LP record. She writes, in full: "Prince and I met on the video set of 'When Doves Cry'. He wanted me to see the hand-painted backdrop on set and told me to use it on the dust sleeve. The Purple Rain movie poster would be the front cover and I was to come up with other design elements to make it an exciting package. I noticed there were flowers on the floor from one of the video set ups and immediately thought a colorful, clean photo of flowers would be a nice addition. We picked the purple he wanted to use (PMS272) and he said he wanted a different font for each song title on the back. Later I realized I needed more visuals and then I noticed a small red symbol on the gas tank of his motorcycle. It was the male/female symbol combined. He liked it so much it later became his name. The following week we met and finalized the album package design. He was very quiet but I could tell he dug it. Laura Nash 'Purple Rain' album jacket designer."
