Project Details

Interstellar is a boutique music rights company, the intermediary working behind a roster of artists, writers and catalogue owners to protect and grow the value of their music. They approached me to build their identity and shape how the company would present itself.

I led the creative direction, developing the concept alongside their principles and tone, into a system contemporary and forward-facing but flexible enough to carry everything from artist signings to day-to-day communications. I delivered a suite of artworks used across the company's messaging, implemented across applications with graphic designer Ella Johnson, then developed a set of motion idents that took the visual language into animation.

I also designed and built the company website, carrying the identity through into the digital experience, so the brand held together from a single announcement post to the full site.

Design Insight

The name was the concept. If the artists are the stars, Interstellar is the space between them, the invisible force that connects and holds a constellation together. The company is the intermediary you don't see, working behind the roster to protect and grow what the artists make, so the identity was built around that negative space rather than the stars themselves.

It is a quiet idea on purpose. Rather than reach for obvious cosmic imagery, the system leans on what sits between, the connective structure, matching how the company actually works: present, essential and largely unseen.
