I collaborated with the band Babies Flokkurinn to create visual direction for their latest songs. I pitched multiple concept-driven cover ideas that aligned with the band's vibe — playful, offbeat, and bit weird.
A portrait of the band that they bought. Like me they are funny but shy. So hiding their identity behind a funny drawing is perfect.
Cover for one of their songs. It's the most literal interpretation of the song. The title of it is "Næsta hæð" or Next Level. The Spotify canvas animation is the header of the site. Click on the picture to hear the song on Spotify.
Original idea that was changed. They didn't want the names on top .
Rejected idea. The band was into the colors though so we used them in the final design. I really liked the typography affect though. Will probably use the idea again on another project.
Rejected idea. But kinda my favorite. Think it would have gotten a lot of clicks.
Rejected idea. Again, I think it would get a lot of clicks. And would have been funny front for a power ballad.
Cover art number two! This was for the song Den Tið. A nostalgic feeling song.
The final cover for the song Den Tíð. It has a nostalgic or retro feeling so we wanted to illustrate that. They liked the idea of making it look like an old VHS cover. Click on the picture to hear the song on Spotify.
Gave them some options of what sort of colors to have on the final design.
A sketch of the selected idea.
Rejected idea. I liked the colors a lot. But it didn't catch the vibe of the song.
Rejected idea. Just a sketch. It would have looked funny animated but they were looking for something simple and preferred a design with more typography.
Rejected idea.
A sketch. It's funny but didn't catch the hopeful vibe of the song.
A sketch that didn't really work.
