Case Study: Sunfyre - “Bleach” Album Art

For Sunfyre’s electronic/dance single Bleach, I crafted a cinematic and surreal album cover through photomanipulation and digital design. The goal was to create an ethereal yet mysterious aesthetic, evoking themes of fantasy, nostalgia, and transformation. The imagery features the artist as a regal figure in a soft pink gown holding a peach, set against a golden-hued forest. The moody lighting, warm color grading, and subtle texture overlays add a dreamlike quality, blending realism with an almost storybook-like atmosphere. Additionally, I designed the YouTube thumbnail which also reflects these details.

Using Photoshop for photomanipulation and color enhancement, I fine-tuned the lighting, composition, and depth to ensure the subject felt seamlessly integrated into the scene. I also designed the accompanying YouTube thumbnail, maintaining a cohesive visual identity across platforms. The minimalist placement of the "bleach" typography reinforces the clean, modern aesthetic while allowing the imagery to take center stage. The final design resonated well with Sunfyre’s branding, creating a striking visual companion for the song’s atmospheric, electronic sound.
