Gradients - Compilation

label:   Through manhattan records
A minimalist album cover design titled "Gradients" with black and grey gradient circles on a light background, featuring various artist names and record label information.

Through Manhattan Records commissioned a complete visual package for a lo-fi compilation featuring artists including Mujo, Yeyts., Half Blue, Civin, Yungmerrin, Flowzz, and tides. The project included designing the main compilation cover along with a series of individual covers for each artist, all visually connected to create a cohesive identity across the release.

The design system reflected the atmospheric and introspective qualities of lo-fi music while giving each artist a distinct visual presence. Collectively, the artists featured on the compilation have amassed hundreds of millions of streams across their music, with this release alone projected to surpass 2M+ streams. The artwork served as both a unifying element for the compilation and a widely visible creative touchpoint within the global lo-fi community.
