Iโ€™m so happy that we were able to finally share this secret project with the world last week! ๐Ÿคฉ I am so honored and thankful to able to work with and for the cover art of his new single โ€œLazyโ€ ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

The song is mellow and fun, while showing the importance of having a healthy balance of lazy and productive days ~ a lesson I think we can all learn from and relate to โ˜บ๏ธ

Congrats to everyone who worked on the music video for already getting over 1 million views on YouTube! ๐Ÿ˜

I love how these concept photos follow the music video for โ€œ4 Wallsโ€ ~ the studio atmosphere echoing the clean and simple house; the outdoors and desaturated color showing a dream state ~ itโ€™s so lovely โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงกโœจ

Have you ever realized that you love something way more than you previously thought you did? That was me with squares while making this album ๐Ÿคฉ Out of all my projects, this was one that made me so happy just to work on, and continued to brighten my day when I open it up โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

One of my favorite parts about the original albumโ€™s branding was all the geometric lines and wall icons ~ I especially loved this square-ish one from one of their teasers, so I put it on the CD and on the bottom of the rooms ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

Packaging design for the Type Tiff video game ๐ŸŽฎโœจ
I love Nintendo consoles, but I believe Play Stations and XBox controllers have more buttons and more possible combinations for fighting moves ๐Ÿ˜ Even though I know PS4 / XBox games donโ€™t exist, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what a multi-console game cover would look like ๐Ÿ˜Š

Last but not least is Waltograph ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฐโœจ
This font is based off of Walt Disneyโ€™s signature and handwriting, so I wanted to create a very round and child-like character. Her hair is reminiscent of Mickey Mouseโ€™s ears, and I have her a cute summer outfit she could spend all day at Disneyland in ๐Ÿ˜‹
I didnโ€™t want her to be violent since Disney is a very family-friendly company, so I decided to give her round gloves which doesnโ€™t do much physical damage, but her magic, positivity, and belief in following her dreams is just too much for the other fighters to handle ๐Ÿ˜œ
I imagine all her moves would leave a trail of pixie dust and magic which catches all the other fonts off guard or in a trap ๐Ÿค—โœจ

Jabberwub is in the house! ๐Ÿ˜†โœจ
This font is a variation of the Fanta logo, and I loved how blobby and fun it was ๐Ÿ˜Š
When researching this font I immediately thought of a soda-shaking mini game from Mario Party 4, and the background reminded me of Splatoon. He was a bit difficult to nail down, but I love this mischievous jokester so much! I imagine him being able to be squashed into a puddle, throw bits of himself at other fighters, and set up sticky traps on the floor ๐Ÿ˜œ
I didnโ€™t want to give him eyes so that you wouldnโ€™t be able to tell what he was thinking, but he would probably be laughing and talking smack the whole battle ๐Ÿ˜

Up next is the butt of every joke, Comic Sans! ๐Ÿ˜œ
Going into this project, I knew I had to include every graphic designerโ€™s worst nightmare, Comic Sans ๐Ÿ˜‚ I thought I was going to make him a hateable character, but he ended up being kinda endearing โ˜บ๏ธ
I imagine that he always wants to hang out with the other fonts, but no one wants him around. Heโ€™s the punchline of every joke and he either is blissfully unaware, or just chooses to ignore them and keep going ๐Ÿ˜
I love all his little annoying eyeball friends, and their lazer eyes would great for long-distance fighting (because why wouldnโ€™t you want lazer eyes?!) ๐Ÿคฉ

And in the other corner is . . . Knockout! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿปโœจ
I donโ€™t usually design male characters, but it was so much fun playing with the proportions of this guy ๐Ÿ˜
Knockout is a bold, heavy, and straight-edged font, and it gave me the impression that you donโ€™t want to mess with it because itโ€™s not moving or going anywhere. Having recognizable character silhouettes is really important when you have characters lined up, and I love how blocky this guy is ๐Ÿ˜Š
I image that heโ€™d be a short-range, extremely powerful fighter, but heโ€™d also be slow to move - just donโ€™t let him hit you or youโ€™ll be K.O.โ€™d! ๐Ÿ˜ต

Beware of Friday! ๐Ÿ˜ฑโ˜ ๏ธ
This font is from the Friday the 13th movies, so I wanted to make him creepy and mysterious ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
I honestly had a bit of a hard time with this one ~ I was trying to decide whether to go with a creepy little boy since Jason drowns as a kid in the movies, or a monster inspired by cats (because cats are associated with creepy and dark themes). I went the cat route because it was fun playing with the anatomy, and he also towers over the other characters which gave a fun variety to the fighters. ๐Ÿ˜Š
I tried to still reference the movies by having him in a ripped flannel and pants like one of the many iterations of Jason, which I think makes it look like Friday wasnโ€™t always like this ๐Ÿ˜

The one, the only, Times New Roman! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŽ“โœจ
As one of the most commonly used fonts, Times New Roman always makes me think of school, papers, and legal documents. I wanted this character to be sophisticated while also having a few school-themed designs like the shape of her hat and her compass weapon ๐ŸŽ“
I have an affinity for delicate characters with enormous weapons, and I liked the irregular shape of the compass (plus itโ€™d be cool for her to use it for spiraling attacks or elongating it for twice the distance ๐Ÿ˜‹)
My mom recently went back to school and got her degree while I was designing this character, so I was definitely inspired by her and her perseverance โ˜บ๏ธ Love ya mom! ๐Ÿ’–

Up next we have Bodoni ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ
This font is known for its many iterations on magazine covers like Vogue, Fashion, Elle, and others ๐Ÿ˜Žโœจ
I wanted her to look like she fully embodied the spirit of high-fashion and you would never want to mess with her ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
I exaggerated the form of a normal fashion croquis and eliminated her legs so she could use her legs / mist / bottom half (?) to do short-range attacks. I think the balance of her looking strong and confident while also looking delicate and thin turned out really well! ๐Ÿ˜

Here comes Courier! ๐Ÿ˜
This character is especially special to me because I designed him shortly after my grandpa died. Even though I didnโ€™t really know him, I wanted to include details I remember like a hat and that he smoked (itโ€™s not healthy, but it fit the aesthetic ๐Ÿ˜…)
Usually people know this typeface as โ€œthe typewriter fontโ€, so I decided to make him look like 19th-20th century repairman. I also wanted to give him a fun short-distance weapon, so I thought the carriage return lever would be a fun detail (the bar you would push to start typing in the next line) ๐Ÿ˜Š
This fighter was a lot of fun to design, and I love all the little details I put into him โ˜บ๏ธ

Our next fighter is Curlz! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ’–
Before researching it further, I always thought this was a super girly font ~ little did I know it was supposed to look like bent metal ๐Ÿ˜ฑโœจ
I decided to make a cutesy metal worker with all the essentials for welding: bunny mask, apron dress, fashion gloves, and poofy hair ~ you know, the essentials ๐Ÿ˜‹
I want her to be a long-range fighter where she can create molten metal and throw it at enemies or shape it into weapons with her mind ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ
