PURPLE NEGATIVE "MEGABEE"

The digital album cover design in detail view and on Spotify, screenshot from April 2024.

Posters and invitation cards for the debut concert and stickers.

T-shirts in black, white and different colored print options.

Tote bags with an adjusted design to match their format.

Purple Negative collaborated with the latvian brewery NURME to release a MEGABEE beer with unique flavor at the time of the debut concert - and I got  the opportunity to design the cans!

Initial sketches created upon listening to the demo recordings of the album and studying a Pinterest inspiration board the band sent me.

I presented the ideas above with explanations and influences and showed colored versions in different styles and Spotify mock ups to make the ideas as tangible for the band as possible.

After collecting ideas and brainstorming together, I experimented with visual elements and stylistic choices the band liked.

Once an iconic visual was chosen together, we discussed details like the shape and placement of the teeth, color palettes and shading styles.

The band communicated from the beginning that they wanted a fully illustrated cover, but for variety's sake, I showed a fraction of what is possible with additional design elements and text.

Once an iconic visual was chosen as final idea, we discussed details like the shape and placement of the teeth, color palettes and shading styles.
