Branding









I had the honour of creating the full campaign for Newton Faulkner's new album, Hit The Ground Running.

The design consists of two worlds - One on black which includes clean cut graphics and custom, animated typography and one on white which is built around a playful, outlined illustration style. Circular masks are used as a device to switch between the two.

The campaign consisted of - Album artwork, tour poster, website homepage redesign, digital promotion, first single's music video.
