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.

Goodbye June Poster

This illustration honours Goodbye June, an amazing rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. 

Cousins Landon Milbourn, Brandon Qualkenbush and Tyler Baker formed the band after the death of Tyler Baker's brother. This tragic event in June led to the name of the band today.

This print deals with this difficult memory with the illustration of an angel.

Having a death in the reflection symbolises that life can change in a flash, evoking the car accident.

The inspiration is also from the album's name 'See Where The Night Goes'. 

We can see a journey in the sky portrayed with a sailor fishing stars, living an adventure helped by the angel.

There is a subtle mention of grief in the reflection of the man in the boat. It is of two brothers, one with the arm over the other, instead of what should be the sailor by himself. This is to show the love that remains. The crescent moon instead of the sail represents rebirths and new beginnings.

It was important to include nature in the print, because inspiration comes from being in nature, and is responsible for us being alive, also a link to Nashville’s beautiful nearby lakes.

Glastonbury - Live At Worthy Farm

After having to postpone two years in a row; the world’s most iconic music festival was forced to go online for the first time in its 50 year history. Spanning 5 hours, featuring Coldplay, HAIM, IDLES & Kano, the event was one of the biggest and most ambitious online performances of the year.

We were tasked with creating an identity that celebrated the heritage of the event. Transporting the magic and mystery of the site into an online space.

We let the iconic pyramic shine at the heart of the campaign, working with a custom typeface that referenced on site engravings in the stone circle. Our work was paired with incredible visuals and performances filmed by Child Studios & Pulse Films.

The stream became one of the most-watched of the year, allowing a huge audience into one of the most exclusive festivals in the world when we needed it the most.
