Project Overview
The Project
The punk band Flying Penguin has collaborated with me in mid-2017 on the design of their cover art for their first LP EUPHORIA. A part of their briefing was a list of bands they dearly admire such as the Sex Pistols, Green Day and others. An essential requirement was the visual reflection of their music as well as TNT as a homage to their favourite song from ACDC, “TNT”. Without any form of a visual identity at all, the project was a blank canvas which allowed me to imagine how the band should look and feel. After some initial research and an in-depth analysis of their music, I concluded to reflect the grunge of their guitar-amplifiers with some hand made, slightly worn grunge textures and translate the masculinity (male-only band) with some bold typography and hard contrasts. The outcome is a bold and vivid mix of grunge, concrete, colour and explosiveness. Apart from the cover art and the wordmark I’ve complemented the project with a merchandise hoodie design. Feel free to listen to Euphoria at the bottom of the page.
