Styles
A visual language, described in words and shown on one record. Pick one and it carries into the studio, where you swap in your own song, your own photo, your own title.
Retro analog
Authentic 1970s-1980s record sleeve aesthetic. Warm analog colour palette of amber, burnt orange, dusty rose and faded teal, visible film grain, slight colour bleeding at the edges. Typography set as if hand-set or run on a vintage press. Subtle wear textures, like a sleeve that has been shelved for decades. The overall feel is a rediscovered classic from a used record store.
Takes the look only
Neon cyberpunk
Dark cyberpunk aesthetic with electric neon accents. Deep black or dark navy base lit by vivid neon pink, cyan, purple and electric blue. Glowing light trails, holographic surfaces, rain-slicked ground reflecting the signage. Futuristic typography — glitched, chrome, or holographic. High contrast and cinematic depth.
Takes the look only
Synthwave neon
Vibrant neon tube lighting in electric pink and cyan over a dark room with a haze of fog. Retro-futuristic synthwave mood, neon-sign typography, dramatic rim light and reflective surfaces. Warmer and more nightclub than street; the glow is the subject.
Takes the look only
Minimal typographic
The typography is the artwork — there is no photograph and no illustration, only type on a flat ground. Refined sans-serif or serif letterforms set large and precisely, generous negative space, a restrained palette of one to three colours, exact typographic hierarchy. The feel of a high-end art book or fashion magazine cover. Let the type breathe.
Takes the look only
Minimal editorial
Editorial restraint around a real subject. Refined negative space, a reduced palette, sharp hierarchy, magazine-grade typographic spacing and clean geometric balance. Uncluttered backgrounds and quiet surfaces with a polished art-director finish. Reads as a luxury independent release rather than an advertisement.
Keeps your subject
Cinematic narrative
A frame with a strong sense of scene and story. Dramatic light direction, atmospheric depth, believable environment cues, subtle film grain and polished colour grading. Should feel like a still from a music film or a prestige trailer — emotional tension and visual storytelling rather than a plain portrait.
Keeps your subject
Experimental collage
Torn paper edges, layered cutouts, halftone texture, overprint colour interactions, pasted typography fragments, scanned-ephemera energy and bold shape interruptions. Rhythmically chaotic but deliberately designed — art-book driven, never random. The subject stays legible inside the graphic collision.
Keeps your subject
Illustrated portrait
Stylised illustration of a portrait or character: digital illustration crossed with traditional technique, visible linework, deliberate colour choices, expressive character design. Distinctly drawn rather than photoreal — graphic-novel cover or editorial illustration energy. Hand-lettered or carefully chosen complementary typography.
Keeps your subject
Abstract expressionist
Bold abstract expressionism: large-scale colour fields, visible brushstrokes, drips and gestural marks. Raw emotional energy carried by paint texture and colour collision. Should read as a gallery painting that happens to be a cover, with any lettering worked into the composition as hand-painted or stencilled marks.
Takes the look only
Surreal dreamscape
Surrealist composition: impossible landscapes, floating objects, distorted perspective, dreamlike colour grading. Photorealistic elements blended with fantastical impossibilities. Rich atmospheric depth, ethereal light and cinematic scale — the viewer should feel moved somewhere else.
Takes the look only
Vintage instant
Instant-film look: vintage grain, a warm nostalgic colour cast, soft shadows and a slight tilt. Slightly blown highlights and gentle vignetting, as if the photo has been sitting in a drawer. The feel of a snapshot rather than a shoot.
