SIXTEEN ALBUM ARTWORK.

Jovanko & Waters needed an album world with range: intimate, graphic, strange, and memorable enough to hold across cover art, singles, and promotional visuals.

Sixteen album artwork by AVID.
01 · Challenge

MAKE THE MUSIC VISIBLE.

The artwork had to do more than package tracks. It needed to create a visual language that could hold the emotional range of the album and still be instantly recognizable in a feed.

02 · Move

BUILD A WORLD OUT OF COLLISION.

We combined portraiture, distortion, texture, and bold composition to create a system that felt fragmented and cinematic without losing clarity.

03 · Outcome

A RELEASE SYSTEM WITH CULTURE VALUE.

The final artwork created a campaignable album identity: cover, back cover, singles, and photography that all felt like parts of the same visual universe.

Project proof

Before The sound needed a visual identity.

Signal More campaign value from the artwork.

The system gives the release material for teasers, launch posts, artist storytelling, and culture moments beyond the cover.
