PROJECT SUMMARY
Visual identity, photography, and promotional material created for a charity cassette tape release and related live performances. The project was built around a stripped down visual system using aggressive black imagery, distressed textures, and a cold cyan palette carried across the entire release.
The cyan was chosen intentionally to push the project away from traditional punk and hardcore color palettes. Instead of feeling loud or energetic, the color creates a colder and more detached atmosphere that reinforces the themes of isolation and distance present throughout the imagery. Combined with heavy contrast, halftone degradation, and texture processing, the visuals were designed to feel bleak, physical, and slightly deteriorated without losing clarity.
The photography was shot specifically for the project and treated as part of the overall system rather than separate artwork. Across cassette packaging, posters, and digital promotional material, the project focused on strong hierarchy, repeatable structure, and production-ready layouts that could translate consistently between print and screen.
cassette
Cassette packaging designed as a continuous foldout composition, with the outer panels expanding into a single panoramic image system rather than functioning as isolated sections. The layout uses a limited cyan-and-black palette, distressed textures, and high-contrast photography to create a unified visual atmosphere across every panel of the release. Designed to feel cohesive both as a physical object in-hand and as a flattened composition when fully unfolded.

DIGITAL PROMOTION
Digital promotional graphic created as an extension of the Hundreds of Black Kites cassette release system. The piece carries over the project’s cold cyan-and-black palette, distressed image treatment, and stark typography to maintain visual continuity across digital platforms. Designed for quick readability and immediate visual impact while reinforcing the isolated and atmospheric tone established throughout the physical release.
