In 2015, Aussie rock band The Superjesus released their digital EP The Setting Sun. The brief called for subtle references to 1980s Japanese culture, which I explored through geometric forms, layered vector elements, and experimental blending techniques. Choosing to execute the artwork entirely in Illustrator rather than Photoshop was a deliberate challenge, pushing me to achieve a richly textured look with purely vector tools.
While early concepts leaned into layered detail, the final artwork was stripped back to a minimalist design, echoing both the EP’s mood and the understated aesthetic of the brief. To support the release, the artwork was adapted into a full suite of digital assets, including skins for Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
