Asuquomo
In collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Asuquomo, I led the creative direction and visual development for promotional materials supporting the release of his concept album Wide Awake.
The project required building a cohesive visual language that aligned with the album’s tone: bold, rhythmic, and deeply expressive. Through photography, layout design, and large-format poster work, I crafted visuals that amplified the project’s artistic narrative and supported the rollout of the music video premiere.
These large-format posters were created to announce the premiere of Asuquomo’s video release, using shadow, repetition, and minimal typography to echo the project’s moody, kinetic energy. The imagery captures the artist’s presence while building anticipation for the broader Wide Awake campaign. Displayed in an urban setting, the visual treatment feels both intimate and confrontational.
This editorial spread was created for Asuquomo’s Electronic Press Kit, combining dramatic portrait photography with sparse, rhythmic typography. The layout mirrors the raw, spiritual energy of his sound, drawing from West African influences and non-verbal performance. The result is a visually immersive introduction to the artist’s creative world.
For the album’s limited-run CD release, I created a bold visual layout that pairs unguarded portraiture with stark, modern typography. The design echoes the project’s exploration of lineage and belonging, grounding the music in a tangible, emotional context. As a physical artifact, the CD became a meaningful extension of the album’s visual world.
This layout blends documentary-style photography with a stark lyric display, capturing both the vulnerability and discipline behind Asuquomo’s work. The textured black-and-white treatment echoes the raw emotional tone of the song and the physicality of the shoot. The spread adds a poetic pause within the EPK, grounding the viewer in the artist’s world.
