Band Branding & Artwork
DACARA are a Manchester-based rock band that needed a distinctive image to stand out in a saturated genre. Their music takes influence from videogames, anime and popular culture. I have worked with the band to design all of their branding and visual content with a distinctive green colour palette, which we carried through when styling their photo and video shoots, merchandise and social media.

Animation
I have created a motion graphics lyric video for their single 'NICE TRY', looping images to add motion elements to their artwork, and a short animated clip to promote their anime-themed song 'TRYHARD'.
