BELLISSIMO
CREATIVE DIRECTION - GRAPHIC DESIGN






CLIENT: EGREEN - SICK BUDD
CAT:    CREATIVE DIRECTION
        GRAPHIC DESIGN
YEAR:   2023
This collaborative record between Milan-based producer Sick Budd and Italian-Colombian artist Egreen, - released digitally and in physical versions - was born as a tribute to one of the leading figures in Italian rap, among the undisputed pioneers of this genre: Kaos One. Kaos' influence is present in every track and accompanies the listener through sounds and words.

I was asked to take care of the whole visual part of the project and my goal was to pay homage to Kaos also through the artwork of this edition.









Barbed wire, a recurring element in Kaos's visual imagery, is the visual hammer of this project, featured both on the cover and digital tracklist and in the subsequent printed edition.








For the physical version of the CD, I took inspiration from the artwork of "Karma," one of Kaos' most iconic projects, going to combine the concept of this visual with one of Egreen's most frequently mentioned symbols throughout his discography: the condor.
