DAXLING in the BZANXX - the electric collaboration between bzar and DJ DAX concerning the attention demanding anime collaboration between A1 Pictures and Studio TRIGGER.
DARLING in the FRANXX is the anime. We are DJ DAX and bzar. Our project is DAXLING in the BZANXX.
The cover art uses actual line art from the drafting stages in the anime's production. The red to blue gradient is a theme brought over from the show's own branding, and the reverse reflected white gradient along with the iridescent, grainy lens blurs give off a unique carbonated feel.
T'was a four song EP, so there are only four single arts. I continued album art's approach, which was fun to replicate. Here they are in greater detail.
Track 1 - no other way
Track 2 - 02
Track 3 - iphoneXX
Track 4 - darling
Lastly, here are the few promotional assets.
The banner was used across SoundCloud, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. It continues the same language of the album art, but also gives me a chance to establish how text works. The "avatar" portion to the left was also a fun exercise in coming up with a sort of "negative" concept of what I had already established.
The YouTube visuals are essentially the banner and the album art in holy matrimony, with its one new element being the current track indicator - beautiful solution.
Thanks for checking this out + listening.
