Racked Records - Logo design and release artwork

I was asked to help come up with an identity for record label Racked Records. For the logo the brief was to include some sort of security tag that you would usually find on some products/items of clothings in stores. I wanted to create something minimal but also to bear in mind that the logo would be seen on record centre labels, so I wanted it to look cool if it was spinning on a record.

As well as this I also Designed the artwork for the Sweet Chill EP by Samurai Breaks was such an enjoyable project. The brief was to make the sleeve resemble the packaging of a Thai sweet chilli sauce bottle. To achieve this, I styled the top and bottom of the sleeve to mimic the plastic bottle, with the "sauce" visible behind it. The label was intentionally designed with a slightly "stock image" feel to enhance the aesthetic, featuring playful nods to nutritional details you’d find on real packaging—reimagined with a musical twist, including the tracklist and a cheeky note of 160 burns per minute.
