Overview 🔎
As background and texture what you see is part of some graphic experiments with an archaic drawing software from 1993 which runs on Windows 3.x called Crayola ArtStudio.
This whole thing came to me as an invite by the music video director.
When designing something related to music its impossible not to look at the history of phonographic industry and all kinds of music related artwork, however its also very important to be connected to up to date technology and collective thoughts and archetypes.
Research for video: After lots of emails and group chats I went on a hunt for strong political imagery, the editor made an amazing work getting it all together on time, some stuff were collected from antique brazilian tv archive and others happened few weeks before the release date.
