Design & Art Direction

Album artwork

Artwork that actually sounds like the music, from the shoot to the finished sleeve.

Fred Smith, Steve Lane, Anirban Jee, Jenny Spear, Jane Sage, Lisa Richards and Jason Maynard

Brief. Independent musicians need artwork that holds up as a thumbnail on a streaming app and at 30 cm on a vinyl sleeve, and still feels like the record.

Approach. The photography and the design are planned together. Concept, location and light come first, so the image carries the idea and the type has somewhere to sit.

Outcome. Covers, singles, press photography and promotional assets for Fred Smith, Steve Lane, Anirban Jee, Jenny Spear, Jane Sage, Lisa Richards and others.
