Azurqat
I had the privilege of working as visual designer for woman-led electronic music producer duo, Azurqat. My role was to create a captivating visual world for their project to exist in. I was responsible for developing the visual identity and aesthetic that would complement their unique sound and artistic vision. By blending innovative design elements with the duo's electronic music, I ensured that Azurqat's visual representation is as dynamic and immersive as their music.
Cats out of the Bag
Cats out of the Bag is the first song I created cover art for for Azurqat. To the right is the first sketch I came up with after hearing the song. Below is the sketch that Azurøze sent me that she had originally created, along with the Azurqat color palette.
The final image was a product of much collaboration. We share a love of cyber space themes that made this collab such a fun experience. I have also created a gif for promo use that adds to the digital/space vibes of the music. Together, we will continue to craft a weird, out of this world creative experience.
Tundra
Tundra is a piece that Azurqat wrote during a blizzard, so I wanted to portray their cold journey in this piece. I wanted to carry over their blue and green personas, but in a different form, like they're shapeshifters moving through their music. That led me to the sketches pictured to the left.
The final piece is below. I freehanded the type using inspiration from the aurora borealis, to give light and guidance to the traveling hooded figures.
Lesson One
Lesson One was a fun piece, because the moment I heard it, I saw UFOs and desert skies. I continued with the shapeshifting personas, this time as little aliens traveling in a UFO with the night sky present, both of which have been constant themes.
Below is the final. The type I created based on retro sci-fi posters and games.
The Void Screams Back
The Void Screams Back was my favorite piece of Azurqat's right off the bat. I was immediately overwhelmed with the image of two hands reaching out of a dark void.
After receiving feedback from them, I went crazier with the design, having ghosts and plasm coming out of the void, which I made into a cat- referencing the duos love for cats. To this day, this is one of my favorite illustrations I've created.
