The Collected Works (4)
- Design System for the National's Music Festival
- The Collected Works collaborated with The National to create a comprehensive design system for their 2018 music festival, 'There’s No Leaving New York.' Inspired by New York’s layered wheatpaste street aesthetic, the system extended across posters, merchandise, and video animations, capturing the city’s raw and textured visual energy.
- Cassette Packaging Design for the National's Juicy Sonic Magic
- The Collected Works created the packaging for The National’s limited-edition cassette box set, Juicy Sonic Magic. Inspired by legendary bootlegger Mike Millard’s handmade tape covers, the design merges nostalgic halftone illustrations with modern typography to honor both the band’s identity and the history of live concert recordings.
- Typographic Motion System for the National's Album I Am Easy to Find
- The Collected Works collaborated with The National and director Mike Mills to create a typographic motion system for the album 'I Am Easy To Find'. The design combined kinetic type with black-and-white photography and colorful paint strokes, forming a sophisticated and flexible visual language used across film, packaging, and promotional materials.
- Website and Social Media Design for the National
- The Collected Works collaborated with Pentagram and The National to design the band's website and animated social media campaign for the album 'Sleep Well Beast'. The site follows a corporate-inspired visual system, presenting news, tour dates, and videos through a clean and structured interface. Complementary social media teasers built anticipation and deepened fan engagement.
