Album Visuals for Senses

Crafted Visuals
for Senses

Background

Senses is a hyper-pop artist who embodies an AI robotic persona, maintaining complete anonymity. In January 2021, they approached me to craft the visual identity for their upcoming project, Seventh Heaven, ensuring the visuals aligned with their futuristic, enigmatic aesthetic.

The Brief

Senses required a cohesive visual identity for their album Seventh Heaven, including promotional assets and an album cover. The design needed to reflect their AI-driven persona while drawing inspiration from the layered realms of heaven and hell, blending futuristic digital aesthetics with ethereal, otherworldly elements. The goal was to create a striking yet cohesive visual world that seamlessly aligned with the mysterious, hyper-pop sound of the project.

“Seventh Heaven” Album Cover

This was my design for the artist Senses’ album “Seventh Heaven”. Senses is an enigmatic creation, as the artist plays the role of a purely conceptual AI / android female. This extract from music blog Lyrical Lemonade perfectly encapsulates Senses as an artist:

“Today’s world is one that sees a heightened level of self-awareness and transparency when it comes to having a public image. In knowing this, it makes it all the more special when a figure – especially one in an online space – can embrace the art of conceptual anonymity to its fullest potential and carry their lives out as such within this very space.”

My design was informed by discussion with Senses - because of the title of the album, and various songs off the album with titles such as “Guardian Angel”, I knew that biblical / angellic imagery would tie in well with the narrative of the album. I incorporated an image of the ‘layers of heaven’, an archaic illustration of the different sections from heaven all the way to hell. These ring-like layers on the cover art frame a line illustration of Senses, which is accented by a splash of blue paint which draws the eye to focus on it - as this is of course, Senses’ album, and their fans will recognise this figure as Senses.
