Tessera Double 12inch’s
Typography and hand-drawn illustrations for Sushitech's anniversary release
Typography and handdrawn illustrations for Sushitech’s anniversary release celebrating three years of the record labels existence. Splitted into two double 12inch releases, this artwork wasone of the most work intensive sleeve designs I did in recent years.
The various artists compilation was released on both – the main label Sushitech, as well as on it’s “Purple” subdivision and while a coherent look and feel was the main target, both records where meant to feature their own unique style and appearance.
While the Sushitech sleeve is covered by ‘classic’ typography and digital, yet organic line compositions (meticulously drawn using a graphic tablet) – the 2nd part features the more analogue and handcrafted design. Hand-drawn and scanned type for title and tracklistings are melting seamlessly into overprinted two-tone layers of separated paper textures, while overall coloring and typographic background is continuing the line of the first part.
Another aspect is the reversible sleeve concept, which gives a more fluid feel to the single record, but also enables multiple ways to organize both records/sleeves to each other.

Like this one! matt carton and colors are a perfect fit. already thought about submitting your designs to sleevage // http://sleevage.com/?
Hi Aaron,
glad you like them and thanks for recommending Sleeveage. I bookmarked their website some moths ago, but didn’t had a closer look at featured artworks and artists so far. ‘ll give it a go soon.
The sleeve material in case you are interested is a serviboard grey carton – glued/processed inside-out. The back side has a silky-matt and softly gleaming surface that looks great printed with deep and high-contrast Pantone colors.
