ALBUM COVER | Chora, Princesa!

O álbum “Chora, Princesa! – Um Painel do Choro Contemporâneo de Juiz de Fora” é, sobretudo, um documento que registra, entre 1997 e 2019, um pouco do que se tem feito de Choro na cidade. Para a capa e seus desdobramentos, buscamos usar elementos reconhecidos como parte da identidade de Juiz de Fora. A paleta de cores é uma adaptação das cores da bandeira, e a ilustração faz referência ao estilo predominante em suas construções históricas, o Art Decó, além de representar partes desses prédios e até as luminárias de uma das principais ruas do centro.

The album “Chora, Princesa! - Um Painel do Choro Contemporâneo de Juiz de Fora” is, above all, a document that registers a little of what has been done about Choro in the city of Juiz de Fora (Brazil) between 1997 and 2019.

For the cover and other artwork, we used elements that are part of the identity of Juiz de Fora. The color palette is an adaptation of the flag's colours, and the illustration refers to the predominant style in its historic buildings, Art Decó, in addition to representing parts of these buildings and even the lamps on one of the main streets downtown.

CUSTOM LETTERING FOR THE TITLE AND DATES

All of the text in the cover was drawn especially for this project and exported as a font file for better flexibility on adapting the artwork to different formats such as the round disc.

LOGOTYPE | Casa da Gelada

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.

Chicundum is a poster/magazine, made by the clothing online store Chico Rei. The content is varied, always created by different writers with fresh perspectives about life and the possibilities of this amazing world we live in. For this edition, that focused a lot on personal journeys, projects and traveling, I was invited to created a poster and the illustrations that go with the content. The quote in the poster says “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, and the small letters are variations of it, as “A successful career starts with a single dream”.

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.
