Music Packaging Design

Art Director

Limited 7" vinyl artwork, motion graphics & digital promotional assets

Overview

In October 2020, Devotchka released an official cover of the theme from The NeverEnding Story with Amanda Shires of The Highwomen and Tami Stronach, the film's original Childlike Empress. All proceeds from the video, streams, and vinyl went to MusiCares, supporting music industry workers affected by COVID-19.

I designed the release's full visual package, from the front and back cover art for the 7" vinyl to social media and website assets, motion graphics, and video editing.

Nostalgia with a neon glow. The artwork honors the film's iconic, dreamlike world while reflecting Devotchka's own style, built in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.

Fight the Nothing

The release doubled as a fundraiser, rallying fans under #FightTheNothing. I designed the promotional suite that carried it across social media and Devotchka's website, announcing the 10.23.20 release and crediting Amanda Shires and the Childlike Empress. Every asset pointed fans to the music and to MusiCares.

Motion + Video

I brought the artwork to life with motion graphics in After Effects and edited video for the release's promotion. The neon emblems and cosmic sky became animated banners and video assets built for social feeds, keeping the campaign consistent from the cover to the screen.

The 7-Inch

The cover sets a starry, aurora-lit sky behind a glowing neon arch. Emblems mark each collaborator, including Amanda Shires' heart monogram and a portrait of the Childlike Empress. I designed both the front and back covers as print-ready artwork for the vinyl release, made to resonate with fans of both the band and the classic film.

Outcome

A cover worth collecting. Cohesive, nostalgic artwork captured the essence of The NeverEnding Story while staying true to Devotchka's brand.
Built for social. Digital banners and video assets drove online engagement and visibility across social platforms.
For a good cause. Visually striking assets extended Devotchka's reach, driving awareness and support for MusiCares.
Ready for press. High-quality, print-ready artwork contributed to a successful and memorable limited vinyl release.
