The Whispers... Get A Little Louder!
Groove Remote is a DJ with a passion for funky grooves from San Antonio, Texas. He contacted me to create the artwork and j-card layout for a compilation album of selected songs remixed by 18 different artists from an R&B/funk band formed in the late 1960s called The Whispers.
This project was granted the following three awards:
European Design Awards 2023 — Finalist / Music & Film Cover
GMK 41th Graphic Design Awards 2022 — Best Illustration Award
GMK 41th Graphic Design Awards 2022 — Album Cover Design Achievement Award

To capture the vibrant lifestyle and urban aesthetic of the 70s, I wanted to fill the entire front of the J-Card with over 50 unique dynamic characters and iconic cars from the era. It is possible to notice colorful signs for each artist's name that is featured on the album and the original members of The Whispers in the red car in the composition.
Below, you can take a look at the whole process, from the initial idea to the final form of the cassette, produced in 3 different colors.
