• Art created and used as a matrix for the album’s visual identity
CONVULSIF is a very singular Swiss entity playing an instrumental delirium made from doom, noise and drone with an electric bass, a bass clarinet, a violin, and drums. The band is set to release its new album “Extinct” on October 23, 2020 through Hummus Records, and I had the pleasure and privilege to be in charge of the visual identity.
This time, the idea was to create an abstract drawing, ink on paper then digitalized and colorized via Adobe Photoshop, to use it as a matrix in order to propose through cropping and close-ups a unique cover art for each physical format. Thus everything is wrapped by the same aesthetics and at the same time each element keeps a dose of singularity.
Each layout is also slightly different, playing with other parts of the drawing mixed with simple yet elaborated lettering and typography
