Motown Records commissioned me to design an album cover and animation for Never Broke Again, inspired by the iconic Nightmare on Elm Street movie covers. I crafted a cover that emulates the distinctive visual style of the franchise, incorporating typography reminiscent of the original series. This approach aimed to evoke the familiar feeling associated with the films while honoring their cinematic legacy. The result was a visually striking album cover that resonated with both the artist's fans and aficionados of the classic horror series.
For my initial promotion, I recreated my designs in Cinema 4D to showcase the reversibility of the designs in a unique & engaging way. This video garnered more than double the views of my previous videos, allowing for a larger audience to see my product before launching.
For this colorway's campaign, I wanted to use photography to simultaneously showcase both sides of the beanie in a creative way. The final concept I landed on was using a mirror to capture a model's reflection with blue skies surrounding her, and then using Photoshop to show the reversed colorway. After landing on a final composition, I made a static advertisement for the release.
Along with the advertisement, I directed product shots to showcase the beanie in more variations. Firstly, I directed shots on both genders with both sides visible to ensure the audience knew that the product was unisex. Secondly, I took standalone shots of the product on concrete to evoke the urban aesthetic that I was promoting. And finally, I took more standalone product shots with a pure white background that would be used for website purposes only.
Rather than photography, this colorway's campaign was focused on 3D imagery. I wanted to catch my audience's eye immediately with bold, vibrant colors, and hive-mind-styled compositions.
With this colorway's campaign, I introduced a video promotion and a cartoon-styled 3D advertisement. Also showcased here is the tech pack that I used with my manufacturer and the website's home page for this release.
