Choco Freestyle

Gurukhaab

Client: Gurukhaab
Project: Choco Freestyle (single artwork)

Challenge:
The artist needed a visual identity that

wasn’t just “nice to look at” — it had to feel

like the music itself: fun, wild, and instantly

recognizable in a crowded feed.

Approach:

  • Built a surreal illustrated world centered

    around donuts, chocolate,

  • and over-the-top character design.

  • Exaggerated facial features + cartoon

    style to mirror the freestyle energy.

  • Custom typography for the title “Choco

    Freestyle,” made gooey and vibrant to double

    as a logo.

  • Used saturated warm tones (oranges, purples,

    yellows) to make the artwork pop against

    streaming platform UIs.

Outcome:

  • Eye-catching artwork that instantly

    communicates the playful identity of the track.

  • Became the anchor for promotional assets:

    IG teasers, YouTube thumbnail, and motion snippets.

  • Elevated Gurukhaab’s music presence with a

    consistent, memorable visual brand.

Dreaming Loud

Gurukhaab

For Dreaming Loud, the cover translates Gurukhaab’s inner world into a surreal, illustrated dreamscape. The artwork places the artist at the core, with his mind opening up as the soul drifts into a floating dream state symbolizing ambition, escape, and self-exploration. White threads weave through the scene, connecting elements like travel, money, and filmmaking, representing tangled thoughts and the constant motion of an artist’s journey.

The restrained palette, led by soft blues and whites, keeps the dream world open and undefined, allowing meaning to form through narrative details rather than color. The final cover blends symbolism with storytelling, creating a visual that feels introspective, fluid, and emotionally loud just like the project itself.

Mind Flux

ZeroToOne x SaiderSam

For Mindflux by Saider Sam (prod. ZeroToOne), I handled the creative direction and cover design, building a cinematic, illustrated scene that reflects the track’s raw intensity. The artwork portrays the duo as central figures armed with axes, framed against a burning village and mountains to set a dark, post-apocalyptic mood. A bold gold serif title layered with handwritten strokes balances elegance with chaos, while the red-heavy palette and subtle narrative details from bloodstains to fire lock in the energy. The final cover blends storytelling with style, giving the release a striking, memorable identity.

Fubu

Ikka

This tribute artwork was created around the theme of Ikka’s FUBU EP, with creative direction by Illumater. The piece frames Ikka as a samurai-like warrior, standing firm with a blood-stained katana while a fiery demon looms behind him symbolizing inner battles and raw aggression. The bold red backdrop channels intensity, while neon green typographic banners cut across the scene, adding motion and cultural grit. The mix of cinematic lighting, exaggerated character design, and textured poster finish makes the artwork both a powerful homage and a striking standalone visual.

Knok Knock

Kr$na

This poster artwork was created as a tribute to KR$NA’s track “Knock Knock,” with creative direction by Illumater. Designed in the style of a retro-Bollywood gangster poster, the piece captures multiple personas of KR$NA in one frame from sharp suits to street visuals, holding cards, megaphones, and even rolling with a bike and horse. The heavy red backdrop and grainy textures amplify the raw, cinematic energy, while the bold 3D Hindi typography for “Knock Knock” anchors the composition at the center. The overall theme reflects confidence, versatility, and a larger-than-life presence, echoing KR$NA’s lyrical dominance through striking visual storytelling.
