Visual worlds for music, stories, and moments
Explore work →Vinylite is a visual design studio built around the idea that great artwork should feel like more than an image — it should feel like a memory, a scene, or a story. Inspired by music, film, analog textures, dreams, and the atmosphere of the world around us, every project is approached with intention, blending strong design with emotion to create visuals that feel personal, timeless, and unmistakably connected to the story behind them.
Whether it's a single song, an entire album, or an idea that's difficult to put into words, Vinylite exists to turn that feeling into something you can see.
A mix of commissioned work, self-directed originals, and fan art concepts — each piece is labelled. View the full portfolio →
“Before the first note plays, the artwork has already told them how it feels.”
Everything below is confirmed in writing before any payment is made.
You share the release, the story behind it, references, and any deadline. I come back with a package recommendation and a firm quote — no charge for this stage.
I present initial concepts for the agreed direction. You pick one to develop. Typical turnaround is 1–2 weeks depending on the package and current queue.
Standard packages include two rounds of revisions on the chosen concept. Premium packages include extended rounds. Additional rounds can be added if a project needs them.
You receive print-ready and streaming-ready files (300 DPI, correct dimensions per platform). On final payment, you hold full usage rights for the release. I keep the right to show the work in this portfolio unless you ask me not to.
Vinylite is a one-person studio. Payment is typically split — part up front, the rest on delivery — and the exact terms, timeline, and deliverables are written down before work starts. Questions about any of this are welcome before you commit.
Vinylite creates striking, story-driven visuals for artists, albums, books, and brands. From album artwork to posters and visual campaigns, every project is built around atmosphere, identity, and intention. Each handcrafted piece tells its own unique tale.
