Fremmed Rase (previously Alien Breed) is a Norwegian hip hop trio from Trondheim. They approached me to make the face for their cassette mixtape release 'Infrasonisk Nedsmelting', a collection of old, new and reworked material. The project was a throwback to their past, and influences, so we drew inspiration from a lot of retro sources, both thematically and stylewise. Sunday morning cartoons, Troma and other bmovies, and old school hip hop. The 80s is back, in form of an alien invasion - and their main weapon is the very cassette tape you bought. Action, detail and 'gaudy' chaos. An incredibly fun job where I got to experiment with wrap-around designs, spot gloss, hand drawn typography, multi-layered packaging and more. I did illustration, layout, typography and design. The project was also released on vinyl, and had a tie-in beer produced by Hammerhead Brewing Company. The project won a diploma for packaging illustration in Visuelt 2023.
