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

ALBUM COVER | Tiago Sarmento

BOHO, a vocabulary abbreviation much in vogue lately,comes from the lifestyle of the gypsy culture, which French romantic artists very much admired, inspired and thus named their lifestyle of Bohemianism: nomadic, wandering, simple, passionate about life and unconventional. Extrapolating these words and finding their synonyms, we come to the vagabond, eccentric, exotic correlates; at last, free. This is all present in Tiago Sarmento's 20 years career as a musician, as a celebration, nothing better than his 5th studio album being named BOHO. Based on this information I was invited to create the album cover, with a research into the visual universe that involves the artist's creation we came up with an ornate lettering inspired by boho prints full of arabesques and floral patterns as the main element.
