Full branding and design for the cinematic/symphonic metal band Illuminata. Hourglass concept by Illuminata. Band photos by Sebastian Patter. Make up by Stephanie Jobst.
Logo re-design, cover artwork illustration, full album layout and design. Merchandise design, including: T-Shirts, Posters and Stickers. Branding and promo images for press, social media and website.
We tried to extend this motive of duality to the artwork as well. However, we only insisted on the hourglass as a central element. The rest is the amazing work of the brilliant Mario Nevado who often knew better than ourselves what we actually wanted. He had such a tremendous understanding for the whole concept and was a pleasure to work with. Throughout the artwork there are numerous details that play with duality and subtle transitions. As a whole the vivid colours of the artwork form another contrast to the design of “A World so Cold”.

My areas of expertise are cover artworks, editorial projects, music album packagings and film poster design – but not limited to them!

Chances are that I’d love to participate in any of those!
