My seventh design for Ben Rama’s Techgnosis Records builds on an abstract image I captured at a scrapyard in rural Changhua, Taiwan. I always figured I would use it for an album cover sooner or later—so when Stoertebeker’s Artificial Structures landed in my inbox I jumped at the opportunity. Type is set with Diavlo, a surprisingly complete free font with five weights and several intriguing ligatures that help to give the design a slick look.

Listen to samples or purchase the release from Techgnosis Records on Bandcamp. You can also check out some of my other designs for the label here.
