ALBUM COVER | Cartografias

Cartografias é o segundo álbum completo do instrumentista e músico Caetano Brasil. A inspiração para as composições vem cada uma de um lugar diferente no mundo e, a cada faixa, características dessas culturas se misturam com a essência do Choro brasileiro, e as referências do artista. Fui convidado para criar a capa e algumas peças de divulgação online para este lançamento. A solução visual tenta espelhar o que foi feito musicalmente no álbum, busca referências das culturas que inspiraram cada música do álbum, como cerejeiras japonesas, moedas ciganas e coqueiros nas praias caribenhas. Tudo isso se mistura com o rosto do artista em uma colagem manual. Alguns elementos isolados foram usados para peças de redes sociais.

Caetano Brasil is an instrumentalist and musician, Cartografias (Cartographies) is his second full album. The inspiration for the compositions comes each from a different place in the world, and in each track, characteristics of these cultures mix with the essence of Brazilian Choro music, and with the artist's references.

I was invited to create the cover and some pieces for online marketing for this release.

The visual solution tries to mirror what was done musically in the album, looking for references of the cultures that inspired each song in the album, such as Japanese cherry blossoms, Gypsy coins and coconut trees on Caribbean beaches. All of this mixes with the artist's face in a manual collage. Some isolated elements were used for marketing pieces.

COLAGEM

A técnica utilizada para este trabalho foi a colagem manual, as peças têm quadrados de papelão colados atrás para dar à imagem mais sombra e sensação de volume. O processo também se tornou um vídeo em stop motion.

COLLAGE

The technique used for this work was a handmade collage, the pieces have cardboard squares glued behind them to give the image more shadow and a sense of volume. The process became a stop motion video also.

Casa da Gelada is a small neighborhood gocery store that specializes in alcooholic beverages delivery, its style comes mostly from what was given by the looks of the house itself. With the brick walls and rough wood doors, we thought it would be well represented by an old distilery look With that in mind I did some researching and sketching to create the custom type logo, and a few pieces we needed to get the business going. I also did the hand painted logos and number on the walls.
