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.

B2DT Sharingan Fitted Caps

The 02DATRAP® Sharingan Fitted Caps were designed as a tribute to the legendary Lake Elsinore Storm Caps, which were synonymous with the UK grime scene during the early 2000s. This concept was inspired by the iconic Sharingan sound effect from the Naruto anime franchise, which is used by BACK2DATRAP producer Bally as his producer tag throughout Lancey’s mixtape. 

This capsule was created in partnership with Years of Tears, a London based punk brand owned and run by Lancey’s close friend and fashion designer, Slik Syd

West End Records / Brand refresh

I worked on the brand refresh for West End Records, an American music record label that focuses on Electro, Disco, Garage House, Boogie, and Hip-Hop genres.

I had to simplify and modernise the logo, and develop a fun and modern aesthetic inspired by Keith Haring's illustrations. His illustrations were a big part of Paradise Garage, the iconic club in New York where West End's disco music was prominently played.
