  • Dormiglioni is a music duo from South Florida. Their upcoming EP, Turning Page, explores both the chaos and optimism of navigating your early 20s. I was commissioned to design the cover artwork, translating these themes of transition and growth.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

I began with an initial consultation with the artists, where they shared a set of colorful, abstract visual references centered on themes of wandering and transition. Using these as a starting point, I developed five rough compositions and presented them in a pitch deck for discussion. We ultimately landed on a scrapbook-inspired direction to emphasize the nostalgia, playfulness, and exploration of the artists’ early 20s. The final design uses a beach-inspired color palette and abstract, palm tree–like shapes, drawing from the imagery in the track Love Who You Are.

I began by combining photography with illustration, using found images to experiment with composition. This created a layered look that ultimately evolved into a scrapbook layout.

After sending the pitch deck, the artists responded most positively to the scrapbook concept and suggested more papery elements. I began experimenting with different compositions and color stories.
