creative director + design + albums + merch
Project Brief
East African Retro Pop
The words that inspired the Creative Direction and Design Inspiration for Alsarah and the Nubatones.
Alsarah and the Nubatones have crafted their own unique musical genre that blends influences from East Africa with contemporary sounds. For their creative direction, I sought to develop a bold visual identity that reflected this fusion. The design draws heavily on retro aesthetics, combining rich textures with vibrant colors, while maintaining a pop sensibility that also honors the cultural roots of East Africa.
Albums Included: Manara Remixed, Ya Watan Single, Manara, Silt Remix, Soukura EP, Silt Tape
Along with the logo design I created elements for silkscreen tote bags and t-shirts. Printed by artist Laura Mirabella.
