Hammercan: Circle of Life

Circle of Life is a culmination of events over the past few years. This album is dedicated to the memories and lives of our loved ones passed, present and future. From birth to passing, career changes to house purchasing, physical health to mental wellbeing, it’s important to remember that LIFE is a circle and what truly happens when you're busy making plans.

Digital Artwork | Illustration | Packaging/Label Design | Album Artwork

Property of the Hammercan band and can be found on their social media profiles.

I was commissioned to create the digital artwork, illustration, album artwork, and packaging design for Hammercan's Circle of Life album. This included digitizing an existing artwork and creating new artwork from scratch.

Circle of Life Cover

The album cover design features a bold and dark abstract drawing of the Circle of Life, with the main feature being a digitized Sugar Skull artwork by Fiona Trzeciak. Elements from the Sugar Skull are also used on the packaging design to create a consistent brand identity.

Process

The initial pencil drawings for the album artwork and lettering were vectorized in Adobe Illustrator. The final design was then created in Affinity Designer, a powerful vector graphics tool that I have been using in addition to Adobe apps.
