BRUSHING SHOULDERS
[Art Direction, Branding & Graphic Design] An underground electronic dance music label focussing on the fundamentals of sound.
Bringing high-energy, stripped back, minimal and heavy techno & 4/4 tracks, releases and events to the United Kingdom scene.
My main focus in this project was to create a completely cohesive and all-encompassing brand design for the client to use at every point of contact to their audience. I brought together the elements they push with their sound into their design using clean & bold design.
Creating a symmetrical and infinite use-case for their branding. Using the idea of two individuals brushing shoudlers and the individuals themselves as the brand iconography.

BLUEPRINT
[Art Direction, Branding and Graphic Design] Underground Electronic Music Event located in the heart of South West Wales
Inspired by the golden age of raving, a marriage between the raw nature of dance and the more ephemeral nature of altered states of consciousness.
The iconographic logo was made intertwining DNA stands around a central point. DNA is the Blueprint of the Human Body through full immersion into the dance altering the molecular makeup of your whole being. This logo also acts as a portal through which to see through a new way of being.
Secondary visuals such as the clouds and the panther were used to create an oxymoron between the ethereal, dream-like, floating nature of the sky above and the fast-paced rhythmic movement of an organic body beating with blood and instinct.
A gridded background is an ode to the hay-day of rave posters used to create environments and dreamscapes, while still having its place here acting as a geometric base for designs as in actual blueprints used by architects.
