Design Brief: To create artwork for the Gun album ‘Hombres’, apply design across a range of formats and advertising. Create alternative artwork for Deluxe Edition version with a dark theme. Supply digital artwork for single releases by adapting artwork and introducing new elements. The inspiration was from their idea of urban cowboys, a band of shady brothers. I got a lot of images of Glasgow (where the band are from) to get the correct look and feel. Then for each release, I introduced different elements, treating them in the same way but adjusting colours and compositions to get a similar yet different feel to each release.

Special Finishes: Coloured vinyl variations for the different stores
