the objective

A logo for The Greyhound James’ Band. Classic rock, blues, soul and spaghetti rock are Greyhound James’ genre. He wanted a classic rock vibe to the logo that would incorporate the greyhound. The name is very long, so had to divide it four ways. I also wanted to put it altogether in a circle, because of the digital platforms. The main challenge was not to give in to the temptation of putting this well known runner, running. Now, I wouldn’t imagine it any other way. His ribs helped though.

We’re talking about a region full of potencial, with gastronomy being the main attraction. The client approach me wanting something simple and honest, to promote the products made by the farmers. I photographed outdoors and design the posters, that were then advertised on MUPI.

the objective

The task was simple, an artwork for a debut double album, in compact disc format. But knowing the project so well, I felt that had to me more.

I knew the lyrics deserved more attention, so I asked two illustrators to do one illustration per music/lyric. I wanted them printed on postcards, 20 detachable ones, with 18 illustrations (one for each song) by Margarida Pinto, Vítor Santos and 2 photos by me. These were put together on a A5 cardboard folder, printed with linoleum. The cd were also printed with the same technique. The print on the cd nr 1 is the negative print of the cd nr 2. They came with one cotton tote, also linoleum printed. Numbered limited edition, 99 pieces only.
