I put together a quick visual identity exploration for @Elis Cole after seeing their brief and spending time thinking about how the artist’s sound and personality could translate into a cohesive visual world. Instead of making it overly literal, I explored two distinct directions:

Cool and moody A darker, more atmospheric direction with a restrained and cinematic tone. Warm and energetic A brighter, more vibrant system with more movement, warmth and immediacy.

The goal was to show how one artist identity can hold different emotional expressions while still feeling cohesive and recognizable.

This is the kind of work I love: translating sound, feeling and personality into a visual language that can live across cover art, social media, promotional material and future creative direction.

Would love to know which direction feels stronger for Elis Cole: Cool and moody or Warm and energetic?

I personally like the color palette of the Cool & Moody direction more. I think it feels more impactful and really catches my eye 🌕

Cool and moody feels stronger to me. It gives Ellis Cole a more distinctive, memorable identity, while the warm direction could work really well as a secondary visual language for specific releases or campaigns.

Really like this approach. As a UI/UX designer, I think keeping the familiar structure while improving the experience makes the redesign feel much more intentional and user-focused. Great work 👏

An early taste of Senses, a skincare identity built around the shift from overstimulation to comfort. The system pairs a fluid wordmark with clinical typography and an olive-glass form designed to feel precise, tactile, and quietly luxurious.

For this Hydration Serum study, I placed the same object between two sensory extremes: humid moss and sun-warmed sand. One speaks to replenishment; the other, to the need for it. Which world draws you in?
