“Filin“it.
Project Overview:
Vivienne Mort, a Ukrainian indie music band, approached me to design the cover artwork for their album Filin (“The Owl”). They wanted visuals that would capture the album’s haunting, introspective tone and stand out in the Ukrainian music scene.
Process & Concept Development:
I started by conceptualizing a unique costume design that reflected the album’s essence—a blend of mystery and depth. The costume concept became the foundation for the entire visual direction, influencing the mood, color palette, and textures.
Crafting the Artwork:
With the costume setting the tone, I carefully crafted an art direction that embodied both the band’s identity and the album’s themes. The final cover was bold and distinctive, utilizing intricate details and symbolic elements to evoke the owl’s mystique.
Result & Impact:
The album cover quickly became one of the most recognizable visuals in Ukrainian music, resonating with audiences and amplifying Vivienne Mort’s brand. This project represents my approach of starting with crafted, tactile elements to build a memorable brand aesthetic.
