ØRDEM
Album cover / merch design
FR
Ørdem est un groupe de hardcore toulousain.
Pour la sortie de leur premier album "The Truth Welcomes Disillusion", ils m'ont confié la création graphique de la pochette ainsi que de leur nouveau merch.
Inspiré notamment par la série Fallout, le visuel joue sur le contraste entre un graphisme cartoon/rétro aux couleurs vives et des thèmes sérieux comme la dépression, l'angoisse sociale, le trouble de la personnalité... qui sont développés dans les paroles des chansons.
Pour l'illustration principale, je devais représenter un personnage en train de se préparer à partir au travail, et dont le reflet dans le miroir montrait son double intérieur. J'ai alors proposé plusieurs versions, pour finalement retenir cette vue plongeante avec effet "fish eye". Ce fut un challenge et en même temps beaucoup de plaisir.

Inspired in particular by the Fallout series, the visuals play on the contrast between brightly colored cartoon/retro graphics and serious themes such as depression, social anxiety, personality disorder... which are developed in the songs' lyrics.
For the main illustration, I had to depict a character getting ready to leave for work, whose reflection in the mirror showed his inner double. I came up with several versions, finally settling on this "fish-eye" bird's-eye view. It was both a challenge and a lot of fun.
