Covert Four — various artists

December 2023

Artwork for a 2CD compilation in card wallets with slipcase of exclusive tracks by anonymous artists for Touched Music.

Themes of video surveillance and subjects that have been pixelated/obscured/redacted are the design inspiration for the forth volume of this mystery artist compilation series. The ASCII art/pixelated style evolved from redrawing CCTV cameras and people using just four squares that contain between one and four lines. On the typography it is reminiscent of barcodes, tying into the tracking and identification aesthetic.
