For the latest work of João Clemente on Petcord, Moan, I had the pleasure of creating the optical presentation. Again, this was a cooperation based on a given template, this time by the artist himself. The original draft was rather challeging because it was deliberately grainy, much like a black and white version of noise by digital cameras at high ISO settings. The composition had something intriguing so I opted to use it as a base for refinement and made something rather different out of it.

The basic idea evolved rather rapidly using the Gimp, with some refinements and changes added at the request of the artist, where I took the chance to include some additions, like the re-introduction of using fonts as a decorative element and my usual obsession with ratios and how they reoccur as a common thread of the composition. In the end, the cover became rather distinct and effectful, quite matching to the rather sombre music and its basic feeling of isolation.
