For Czarface's Savagely Attack 2024 Tour backdrop visuals, which will be showcased in venues across Brooklyn, Albany, Waterbury, Philly, Pittsburgh, and Cambridge, I combined both analog and digital techniques to create dynamic, looping visuals. The process began with hand-drawn sketches and collages, capturing Czarface’s iconic comic book-inspired aesthetic. I then transitioned to digital, using a blend of Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D to animate these elements, layering textures, bold colors, and kinetic typography. These seamless loops create an immersive experience, syncing with the energy of each performance while reflecting the raw, graphic style Czarface is known for.

For the debut of Stress Eater, DDS had the incredible opportunity to design the cover art for their single, “Rocket Science.” DDS’s approach was to blend L’Amour Supreme’s distinctive comic-inspired artwork with unique layout and design sensibilities, creating a cover that celebrates his iconic style while showcasing DDS’s visual storytelling skills. In addition to the cover, DDS developed story visuals for everyone involved to share, amplifying the single’s launch across social platforms and making the release visually cohesive.

DDS had the fortunate opportunity to redesign the entire identity for Evergreen, a sustainable secondhand vintage store in Ithaca, New York. While developing the logo, DDS aimed to create a design that not only represented Evergreen but also embodied the character of Ithaca—a small, upbeat city with a rich history. To reinforce the idea of sustainability, DDS designed a tree-shaped logo using only rectangles, symbolizing both the store's eco-friendly mission and natural beauty.

This recognition is among one of the highest accolades bestowed at Montserrat for emerging design talents. We embraced this remarkable opportunity with enthusiasm and dedication. Alongside the Commencement Banner, our team also had the privilege of designing the website banner for the 2023 All-Senior Exhibition, further showcasing our studio's creative capabilities and commitment to excellence in design.

TD Garden
Boston, MA.
Doorstop Design Studio had the privilege of designing the main screen graphic for DJ 7L of CZARFACE, the opening act for Nile Rodgers and Duran Duran at TD Garden. Collaborating with renowned artist Daniel Krum, known for his work with The Alchemist, Westside Gunn, and Roc Marciano, we created an animated graphic that was a central visual element during 7L's performance. Our design captivated the audience throughout the show, adding a dynamic and engaging layer to the live music experience.
