Drain Story

My designs in the book are inspired by the aesthetic of the Drain gang, which is a multi-racial group of Swedish rappers who rap in English with a heavily auto-tuned style. The book brings together a lot of content from Drain Gang that gives the audience context into how their aesthetic influences their music and vice versa.
Learning Outcomes:
In this project I learned how to make a brand from book design. I used a CMYK color palette because it represents the base of expression and I see it used a lot in their album artwork. I used a storybook like display font called Vatican that reflexed the groups playfulness. It was a challenge in itself to create something that is 160 pages long and cohesive.
