Challenges

Challenges

Each cover needed to represent a different artist while functioning as part of a unified box set. Visuals had to feel dynamic and sports driven without sacrificing clarity, print quality, or cohesion across the collection.

Solution

Solution

Developed a consistent layout and visual structure. Each cover was customized through controlled compositing, lighting, and coloring, working with Gabriel Oppenheim during execution. The final artwork was prepared for print, ensuring visual consistency, strong shelf presence, and a polished finish across all vinyl pieces.
