Role: Creative Direction, Design, and Project Coordination.
Project: We were charged with executing the unique style of Dizzy Balloon’s premiere album. The band had a pretty good idea what they wanted, but only rough pencil sketches to convey their concept. Exkclamation coordinated with illustrator Paris Raupach, the band, and the band’s management to ultimately produce this fun, colorful representation of the Dizzy Balloon experience in time for their first national tour. They could not have been more pleased with the results. (For more about the band, visit their website)
