Neon Pulse EP Cover
Complete visual identity for the Neon Pulse EP — album artwork, single covers, and digital assets. The design language fuses brutalist typography with neon-soaked depth, built to stand out in a 1:1 thumbnail at any size.
The artist wanted something that felt genuinely underground — not polished pop, not generic EDM. The artwork needed to carry the sonic identity of the music: abrasive, electric, and unapologetically dark.
The EP artwork was featured in Spotify's editorial playlist "Dark Electronic" within the first week. The artist reported a 40% increase in profile saves compared to their previous release.
Design process walkthrough — Neon Pulse EP artwork
Listening Session & Concept
Listened to the full EP before sketching a single concept. The music dictated the visual direction — abrasive textures, fractured type, and a palette pulled directly from the sonic frequencies.
Composition & Depth
Built the artwork in layers — background noise texture, mid-ground neon elements, foreground type. Each layer was designed to read at thumbnail scale and reward close inspection.
Typography & Finishing
Custom type treatment with manual kerning and distortion effects. Final finishing pass with chromatic aberration, grain overlay, and glow effects calibrated for digital display.
Asset Suite Delivery
Exported the full asset suite — album cover, single covers, social banners, press kit images, and source files. All files delivered in both RGB and CMYK profiles.
