Velvet Revolution is a platform where independent musicians sell directly to the people who actually listen — releases, tickets, merch, memberships — and keep almost all of it. The name comes from the 1989 uprising that toppled a government without a shot fired, pushed along by underground bands and a playwright. Same idea here: an artist doesn't need a million passive listeners, she needs 800 people who show up.
The branding and the product are one system. The black circle holds still while the city moves behind it — in the UI it becomes the container for everything. All imagery is desaturated on upload, and colour appears in exactly one place: money. The artist side is a dense workspace for pricing releases and reaching buyers directly. The fan side is deliberately bare — no likes, no follower counts, no infinite scroll.
I'm currently designing the UI/UX of the product. The platform is still in development, so for now I'm only sharing the title opening — a short teaser built around the name.
