THE BRIEF

I had the opportunity to design the logo and album artwork for a metalcore band's new EP. The band’s music, with its raw intensity and emotive lyrics, is thematically centered around the ocean. This project allowed me to explore the interplay between aggressive musical elements and the serene yet powerful imagery of the sea.

PROCESS

Engaging with the both the band genre as well as the these present in their lyricism and concept album, a final product was deliverd that aligned with the bands needs and aesthetics to begin forging their path forward as a band.

The final logo design incorporates the genre tropes, strong, sharp angular typography, whist incorporating oceaning iconography to ensure they captivate and convey their genre to the right audience.

Combining this with fluid, wave-like elements  representing the ocean, the juxtaposition created a dynamic and memorable logo that resonates with the band’s identity.

Visual Inspiration: Drawing inspiration from maritime imagery, I explored various ocean-related elements such as waves, sea creatures, and nautical symbols. The goal was to create artwork that was both visually striking and thematically cohesive with the music.
Digital Composition: Using Adobe Photoshop and procreate, I layered textures and colors to create a moody, atmospheric design. Dark blues and greys dominated the palette, with contrasting whites and and ethereal blue highlights to counterpoint the darker imagery. The final artwork featured a stormy sea with sea creatures clawing at a lost diver to drag them back to the depths.
