Graphic Design

The indie-band Karma Queen out of Buffalo, NY needed an album cover for their second studio album, Sharp Tongue. They requested something that resembled a Tarot Card but also brought the title of the album to life. Being an indie-band, an edgy-aesthetic is always a plus.   

Love Revived is a holistic, trauma therapy company that is run out of Nashville, Tennessee. Spinal Energetics is their main form of therapy which focuses on healing by combining eastern & western traditions. Owner, Jolmary Santana, wanted to incorporate the spine as a key part of the logo along with representing that it can be the key to a forward-moving, peaceful life. The dots represent the spine with the colors representing the different chakras. The dividing line is an interpretation of the spinal energetics symbol and the face is facing the right to symbolize moving forward.

Karma Queen's band manager, Evan Kaminski, wanted a logo that was gritty but clean, feminine, with most of their listeners being women and something that stood out in a crowd. We came up with the concrete background for the grunge aesthetic of the band, the pink crown for a touch of femininity, and a neon glow for a pop. The style of the crown and the clean lines of the sans serif text keep the logo grounded and contemporary. 

This promo poster was done for the release of Karma Queen's first full-length album, "Projector". For this project, I was given free reign. I decided using the title in an "on-the-nose" way would be ironic and therefore, a little interesting. To keep it in line with the band's branding, I kept the feel dark, mysterious and dotted with their signature pink. The background also keeps the overall vibe young & nostalgic with it calling back to a high school or college classroom. 

Tony Wynn of Snell Realtors out of Albion, NY was looking for a mailer to be sent out to prospective clients that was sophisticated, modern & stood out. Most promo mailers heavily border the image so in this case, the image covers the entire space. Traditional mailers are usually cluttered with information. This was kept clean to draw your attention to the most important details. The thin border over the image anchors the design without feeling to heavy and the image bleeding out through the border keeps it contemporary.   

Since the front of the postcard was kept clean & free of clutter; all of the other essential information that a prospective client would want to know is here on the back.
