Squarepusher – Damogen Furies

We were each assigned an album from musicians in the lineage of Brian Eno and the ambient/electronic genre. I got Squarepusher's Damogen Furies, a highly sophisticated, frenetic record with big mood changes from track to track. After some research into Squarepusher, his method of composition, and the visual language of his other records, I tried many approaches. Since the goal of this assignment was to also visualize the feel of the music, I ended up with this design.
Learning Outcomes:
The main thing I learned was how to create/refine a logo and background imagery so that each react and supplement each other. I also learned how to layer imagery to create both harmony and visual intrigue through intentional misalignment and clash. It was a very difficult project, but I am happy with the result.
