ATMOS

Introduction

Through my work with Backslappers, I have recently worked with Liam and his local DJ event, ATMOS. ATMOS is a monthly free event at El Globo (upstairs Barca) in Tynemouth, offering a platform for DJs to showcase their groovy sounds.

The Brief

The first project I worked on for ATMOS was to create new artwork for an upcoming Halloween event. Liam wanted a design that showcased Halloween but also had a strong disco flair and a lot of energy. The specifics he required were a new poster design and social collateral that he could advertise on his social channels.

The Process

For this brief, I tried to understand what he was looking for by using movement and disco as key directions that could be used. For this, I came up with the concept of skeletons on the dancefloor, being shocked by the energy coming from the disco ball; I really liked this idea and thought it was a good balance of Halloween and disco. I then sketched out a rough sketch of what I was thinking and sent it to Liam for his feedback, which he loved. Once he was happy with the direction, I used Procreate, Illustrator and Photoshop to create the artwork.

Since the first brief, I have continued working with Liam on other projects. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and getting the opportunity to come up with cool artwork.
