Graphic designer specializing in modern clean design

Cover image for For this album design, I

For this album design, I embraced a surreal, painterly aesthetic that features a solitary figure playing an instrument against a vast, dreamlike backdrop of deep teals and vibrant sunset corals. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, bright white vapor trail that cuts diagonally across the textured clouds, guiding the eye seamlessly from the front cover across the spine and onto the disc face for a continuous visual narrative. By combining the nostalgic, organic feel of the lone musician with the high-contrast, almost sci-fi color palette of the sky and distant city silhouettes, I aimed to create a moody, cinematic atmosphere, keeping the typography minimal and white to ensure the rich, atmospheric artwork remains the focal point.

For this album packaging design concept, I focused on an immersive, nature-centric aesthetic featuring a vibrant, hyper-realistic green tree frog situated in a rainy, atmospheric forest. The composition utilizes a strong depth of field with soft background bokeh and distinct rain streaks to create a moody, cinematic sense of depth, allowing the glossy textures and orange accents of the frog to pop against the lush emerald palette. I extended the high-definition imagery seamlessly across the digipak cover, the spine, and the physical disc surface to create a continuous visual narrative, pairing the organic, wet textures with clean, minimal white sans-serif typography to ensure a modern, polished finish perfect for an ambient or alternative music release.

Adobe Fresco for iPad is free to use, and I hadn’t really paid it much attention before, but it has some pretty cool features like physics-based watercolor brushes and vector tools. I’m definitely going to explore it more, and it might even become a staple in my workflow, especially if I end up doing more illustrations like I’m hoping. In any case, here is an anthropomorphic wolf walking down the street in the aforementioned watercolor. I’m still getting used to the quirks of the tool, but hopefully I can create higher-quality watercolors in the future.

While @miki 's animation and score provided a driving rhythmic framework, I saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between the audio and the visual by injecting a layer of organic, tactile texture. I focused on syncing wet, bubbly transients with the geometric expansions and connections, transforming abstract shapes into something that feels viscous and alive. By carefully mixing these liquid foley elements to act as a percussive extension of the existing soundtrack, I was able to give the motion a physical weight without cluttering the mix, demonstrating how nuanced sound design can turn a flat animation into a cohesive, immersive sensory experience. Here's the original: https://on.contra.com/JcLFjF
