I designed and laid out the promotional flyer for the Hell on Earth gig at Burdekin on August 9th. The design features a supplied hi-res live photo of the band, which I posterised and added textures to, creating a retro aesthetic similar to that of classic band posters. The flyer utilises a 2 colour design scheme with strong gradients, enhancing the overall visual impact while maintaining an underground vibe. The design also incorporates the original band logos (created by others), ensuring that the flyer stays true to the band’s branding while serving as an eye-catching advertisement for the show. Both designed as a social media square tile and also a ticketed website banner.   I handled the full layout design for the Culture of Hate cassette tape using Adobe InDesign, focusing on typography, layout, and preparing the files for print. This included creating a two-fold, full-colour design with attention to layering and proper file setup for production. The band’s original logo, designed by True Suffer, and illustrations by Jruggz (c) were integrated into the design, ensuring a cohesive visual experience for the release. All files were finalized to be print-ready, with colour accuracy and proper bleed settings in place.
I recently worked on some multi cam video edits of live heavy music sets, highlighting the energy of the performance and showcasing Australian talent. These edits capture the raw intensity and crowd energy, delivering an archival live experience for viewers.
