the imminent collapse

Album artwork and design direction for San Francisco band Soft Contact.

With the album design: Soft Contact wanted to take inspiration from the Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART), after having a photo shoot with access to a decommissioned train car (photography by Tyler Bray and Royce Akifumi Wilmot).

BART system signage and brochures were reviewed to study their typographic design sensibilities, as well as alternative rock bands of the 1990s which influenced the band’s sound.
