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.

What this proves

A RELEASE CAN BECOME A WORLD.

01 Artwork with campaign range.

The system gives the release more than a cover. It creates material for singles, teasers, launch posts, and culture moments.

02 Instant visual recall.

Bold composition and texture help the project stand out in small feed formats without losing impact at full scale.

03 A stronger artist world.

The visuals give the sound a recognizable atmosphere, helping listeners enter the project before they press play.

THE COVER HAD TO SOUND LOUD BEFORE PLAY.
