Band Graphics
Graphics are a huge part of why I love being in a live music scene. Branding is how a band presents itself to the world. It draws listeners into albums, communicates logistics to fans interacting with the music, and contributes to a cohesive audio-visual aesthetic for an act. When designing a band’s graphics, I aim to convert their sound into a full branding package. Jazz might harken back to Blue Note Records, whereas frenetic post-rock might yield collage. I try to capture brand in type, color, and imagery. My work with Fire Trail has the most cohesive branding package, including promo for two album release cycles and a custom typeface, but I’m proud to show projects from across my experience.
