Psychedelia, symbolism and a lot of emotion in the art, the songs and the process. We were delighted to be invited to create the cover artwork for the new album Matadeiro by the band Skrotes.
We had the privilege of participating, as listeners, in the studio recordings. That small fraction that we heard was very important for the first ideas that emerged in pencil and paper.
CROQUIS
.
As the first ideas fermented, two sketches were illustrated in Photoshop and our whale was the unanimous choice of everyone in the band. Referring to the history of Matadeiro beach, located in Florianópolis SC, she is the revolt and response of all the whales that have been killed there.
BRAND
Accompanying the change in sound on the new album, we created a new design for the band’s brand, making it more classic and elegant.
PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
PROCESS
.
Paradises, mystical places and deep feelings that seem both familiar and spatial are the inspirations we tried to bring to the cover of Matadeiro. Almost by osmosis, the chords heard day after day during the creation process were imprinted on the details of the artwork. With each update, with new mixes from the band, the illustration grew and matured. It was a very organic and rewarding process!
