Chal is a family-owned business. The name is a reflection of the union between the surnames 'Chavez' and 'Alvares.' It was essential for this project to highlight the presence of its constituents and align it with their vision as architects, which is rooted in honesty, professionalism, and innovation. To achieve this, we've incorporated modern grids along with a mix of typography that unveils the character of their project. We've even crafted handwritten lettering for each of their names to uphold the brand's authenticity. Collectively, these elements culminate in an image that distinguishes their practice within the architecture market and propels them toward their project goals.

︎ Creative direction and color editing by Lluvia Richards
Our approach to this project aimed to amplify the already visionary perspective of Nomad Music House, who not only produced but also directed the project. The visual pivotal thread that breathes life into the entire endeavor is the color red, serving as the cornerstone of the album cover's design. The underlying concept was to liberate the color red from its conventional context, giving rise to an unconventional visual narrative.
Titled "Mi Religion," the project's very name holds significance. Hence, we conceived the notion of incorporating two prominent red cubes. These cubes ingeniously symbolize the two featured artists, elevating them as they stand atop the cubes. In a metaphorical sense, these cubes represent both the artists' individual "religions" or artistic identities and the platform they stand upon.

Every facet of this project draws inspiration from the environments in which music producers thrive. We derive references from a diverse array of sources, ranging from the typography found music albums to audio console brands and even the intricate details of music sheets. This amalgamation forms a cohesive visual system that seamlessly integrates within the music industry's landscape, evoking a sense of familiarity and innate connection. Additionally, we embraced a challenging endeavor: fashioning a visual manifestation of sound itself, which became an integral component of the project. This challenge propelled us into uncharted creative territories, compelling us to explore novel avenues.

This project holds immense personal significance for us at the studio, as it revolves around the visual identity of our very own wedding. Our primary goal in terms of visual inspiration was to weave a narrative that not only tells our unique story but also symbolizes the harmonious merging of two distinct worlds into one cohesive unit. For instance, Kari's profound adoration for flowers, vibrant colors, and the nostalgic essence of summer played a pivotal role in shaping the project. These elements held significant importance and were intricately woven into its fabric.On the other hand, Abraham's passions encompass art, architecture, and typography. These passions seamlessly integrated into the project's design, lending it a natural and holistic depth. A notable example is the incorporation of geometric patterns that emerged from the fusion of materials. This geometrical motif draws direct inspiration from the works of Joseph Albers, whose artistry we encountered during a visit to Luis Barragan House in Mexico City—one of our memorable dates. Furthermore, the project encapsulates Kari's creative touch, with delicately illustrated flowers adorning a floral arrangement crafted by her own hands. This interplay between personal creative expressions serves as a beautiful testament to our journey of togetherness and shared artistic endeavors.
