This single cover art for the release "Where the wind goes" by the artist Diner leans into a saturated, editorial aesthetic. Captured by photographer Ye Fei, the portrait centres on a close-up composition featuring vivid colour contrast and detailed textures. The imagery utilizes a flat, vibrant green backdrop to offset the model’s styling, which includes silk satin apparel with traditional frog knot fasteners. The artistic execution features a deliberate use of film grain, rooting the work in an analogue film aesthetic that complements the square format of the release.
Project Album Cover · FONTAINES D.C. LP COVER
The latest visual identity for Fontaines D.C. transcends standard music industry marketing, leaning into a moody, surreal aesthetic that feels both haunting and hyper-modern. Through a series of striking compositions, photographer Elizaveta Porodina captures a visceral, cinematic atmosphere that defines the band's current sonic evolution. The project utilizes a sophisticated interplay of high-contrast lighting—specifically low-key chiaroscuro techniques—to frame subjects in deep, saturated reds and electric blues against impenetrable black backgrounds. From a figure suspended within a translucent, bioluminescent glass orb to the stark, iridescent focus on a single high-heeled boot, the imagery relies heavily on 3D render and CGI integration to create its distinct, otherworldly texture. The visual narrative is further sharpened by the collaborative input of set designer Miguel Bento, whose work provides the structural tension necessary to ground the more abstract, surreal elements. With precise hair styling by Lachlan Mackie and avant-garde makeup artistry by Porsche Poon, the portraiture distorts traditional features to evoke an ethereal, experimental quality. Typography serves as a structural anchor across the campaign, with bold, sans-serif text cutting through the darkness to underscore the project's alternative identity. By fusing traditional photographic methods with complex VFX, the team has crafted a cohesive, visual landscape that feels like a fever dream, successfully translating the band’s raw, emotive power into a compelling piece of contemporary media and entertainment art.
Project Album Cover · Olivia Rodrigo Album Cover
In a striking visual collaboration that bridges the worlds of music, media, and entertainment, the album cover for Olivia Rodrigo captures a moment of suspended animation that feels both intimate and surreal. Photographer Chad Moore leans into a distinct editorial aesthetic, framing the entertainer mid-air as she hangs upside down from a swing set. The composition is defined by its bold, minimalist approach, placing the subject against a vast, clear blue sky that emphasizes her freefall. This lifestyle-focused imagery utilizes natural light to create a bright, even tone, which contrasts beautifully with the nostalgic, slightly subversive details of her attire—a soft pink dress punctuated by a classic white collar and chunky platform heels. The execution channels a sense of cinematic tension, frozen in time to suggest a playful yet deliberate defiance of gravity. By focusing entirely on the subject’s posture and the clean geometry of the frame, the project moves away from traditional, over-produced album art in favor of a raw, authentic feeling. Every element, from the stark color palette to the choice of practical setting, works in concert to solidify a compelling brand narrative that is as evocative as the music itself, proving that powerful creative direction remains the cornerstone of modern music industry marketing.
Project Album Cover · Katseye - WILD EP
For the launch of the Katseye WILD EP, the creative team crafted a striking visual identity that perfectly balances pop sensibility with a sharp, fashion-forward editorial edge. Centered around the six-member ensemble, the project utilizes a distinct studio strobe setup to cast bright, even light across a vibrant, glossy pink inflatable plastic backdrop. This deliberate choice highlights the reflective textures of the set, grounding the talent within a high-gloss, surrealist environment that feels both retro and contemporary. The styling, curated by fashion editor Kyle Luu, relies on a cohesive aesthetic of white cropped bra tops paired with dark denim, creating a uniform look that emphasizes the collective identity of the group while maintaining individual presence. Through the lens of photographer Julian Song, the composition is executed with meticulous symmetry, placing the talent in a dynamic circular formation that channels a modern, stylized approach to commercial music photography. With intricate hair styling by Evanie Frausto and precise manicure details provided by Naomi Yasuda, every element of the production works in tandem to reinforce the brand personality. This imagery avoids traditional industry tropes in favor of an intentional, polished finish, ultimately delivering a definitive visual statement that elevates the EP release into a broader, must-see lifestyle moment for the media and entertainment market.

For the cover art of Eartheater's latest release Heavenly Body: If I'm t, the creative team has crafted a visual identity that leans into avant-garde album art conventions to mirror the artist's own experimental sonic landscape. Photographed by Tre Koch, the portrait captures Eartheater in a striking profile pose against a stark grey studio backdrop, utilizing crisp studio strobe lighting to emphasize the structural contours of the subject's form. The composition feels deliberate and austere, favoring editorial minimalism to allow the silhouette and the sculptural headpiece to command the frame. By pairing the obscuring headpiece with the stark contrast of long white gloves, the image avoids traditional pop art tropes in favor of something more cinematic and evocative of high-fashion photography. The hair styling by Moe Mukai and precise makeup execution by Isamaya Ffrench serve to ground the ethereal nature of the subject within a polished, intentional narrative. This collaboration successfully synthesizes a distinct, otherworldly aesthetic that feels simultaneously grounded and detached, reinforcing the project's position within the music and entertainment industry as a work of intentional creative direction. The vertical arrangement of the typography further anchors the piece, ensuring that the visual component serves as a potent, immediate signifier for the musical body of work that lies within the release.
