01. ‘Nobody Wants Me Around’


The first of the series of singles leading up to the release of a full EP, the cover art for Nobody Wants Me Around was to define the aesthetic of the following releases. The band wanted to feature an alien character that tied into the themes in their music; I was able to advise how to achieve this quickly and affordably. Editing the band’s resulting photos to match the analogue film effect they wanted, I then set about experimenting with ways to incorporate the band’s other requirements such as the band name and song title.

Alternative compositions and test edits including the first instance of the chrome OMA logo in the ‘Wriggle’ font that would come to be a recurring feature of the covers.
