Approach
I was initially approached to explore a 1970s graphic style for the design, as that was the band’s original vision. However, after a broader creative exploration, I focused on a common principle that runs through much of my work in music packaging, which is making the visuals feel like how the music sounds. I experimented with several directions before landing on the liquid mercury logo, which captured the essence of the sound. The project involved an expansive creative process to arrive at this final concept.
I tried a few tools to visualise the logo, but in the end, I found this tutorial and found myself learning Blender to get the best results, and a final look.
For the album artwork, I was granted permission by NASA to use their space photography, my first reply from them after a few astronaut application attempts. I also asked the band to send over short loops of music for each release, which we used as background audio for animated versions of the album sleeves, designed for social media posts.
