Bringing visual to the music.
I’ve created artwork and merchandise for the musician Coddfrey, including album covers, physical releases, posters, and other visual material.
The projects span a range of tones and styles, often leaning into the experimental and electronic nature of the music, with each design aiming to reflect the mood and identity of the release.
Requiem
This is the cover I designed for REQUIEM, an experimental EDM release by Coddfrey. I wanted the artwork to feel heavy and introspective, like the music
itself; dark, distant, and a bit unsettling.
I built the background using layered textures and light distortion to give it atmosphere and depth, while keeping it abstract and open-ended.
Colour was key. I went with a muted green-yellow to cut through the greyscale and give everything a slightly toxic, synthetic edge. It’s meant to feel a little off, but still controlled. The whole design is minimal, focused, and intentional, letting the tone of the music come through without spelling it out.
Trapped in Paradise
I took this photo for Coddfrey’s (also known as Coddy) project
“Trapped in Paradise” .
It was shot in a narrow brick alley, a place that instantly felt a bit claustrophobic and boxed-in. That mood really matched the theme of the album, so I wanted to build on it visually.
After getting the shot, I edited the window in the door to show this warped, colourful swirl; something that feels cosmic, maybe even a bit like heaven. It’s not a real place, more like an imagined version of paradise. I liked the idea of putting that kind of world just out of reach, right there through the door, but still completely inaccessible from the dark, closed-in space the person’s stuck in.
That contrast between the gritty, real environment and the surreal dreamscape outside was exactly what I was going for.
