prep_film poster

_what
poster for the short film, prep.
_how
producer raymond knudsen returned and asked us to make a poster for his new film, prep. this time raymond was in the director's chair and his film is a frenetic, personal insight into the world of body building. we loved the film and presented a range of poster ideas for raymond to choose from. he selected the one you see here. the collaged juxtaposition was our attempt to tackle the particular psychosis suffered by the protagonist in the film.

protomen_the fight_record sleeve

record sleeve
_what
record sleeve for the nashville-based band, the protomen.
_how
the protomen sent us their new song, "the fight," and we got to work. the band are always clear on the imagery they want to accompany their music, and john delucca and caspar do their best to realize that vision.

this time around the band needed a new logo as well as a revised visual aesthetic. john drew the cityscape you see here, and caspar drew the logo typeface and the rest of the layout. the aesthetic references are we're sure very obvious to some, but above all we hope you find it all a fitting visual accompaniment to the song.

you can listen to "the fight " here.

logo for the new york-based company, fraude films.
_how
wells watson jr. reached out to us and asked that we might create an animated logo for his new company, fraude films. after presenting various ways in which to visualize his company's name, we all settled upon the one you see here. created by giulia bertolino and caspar, the animation is a result of some digital type design, and plenty of printing and scanning.

BBD_self titled_record sleeve + poster

BBDLP1 cover
detail
poster
_what
artwork for big black delta's debut LP, BBDLP1
_how
continuing the very fluid back and forth between us and jonathan bates, this the cover for the forthcoming BBDLP1 is our attempt at capturing the immensity that is this new record. whether you are listening to the lush love song that is 'capsize' or the vastness, heaving space trip that is 'BBD3', we wanted the cover to echo both the inner workings of jon's mind as well as the beautiful, dark recesses of the universe. no longer the man with his head exploding on the cover of mellowdrone's 'angry bear', we now step deeper inside that thinking and in doing so reach much further out into space as we get involved with his obsession with UFO folk-lore and his desire to be taken away from his planet by whatever means possible.
