I’m a DJ and I create all of my own artwork and marketing. Scroll down to see my social media branding, introduction video and designs that showcase my ability to create a variety of different looks with each one matching the music that it’s representing.
SLYVER Animated Introduction Video
I created this animated video to use as an introduction on my YouTube channel and my SLYVER Facebook page. I also recorded the SLYVER sound bites and edited the audio.

Pure House Sensation series

Believe In The House
I took a very minimal design approach for this series of current soulful house music mixes. The main image is an icon-type element of a house made of speakers. Listen and download below.

I gave this series of industrial mixes a dark, edgy but minimal design to match the music. Listen and download below. (Note: contains explicit lyrics)

Alternamix series
This is a series of four mixes I recently created featuring remixes of alternative music by artists such as Depeche Mode, New Order, U2 and Yaz. The series is called Alternamix. The minimal design suggests sound waves, or it could even be a subwoofer, and the typography gives it a different, “alternative” feel with the backwards “e” and “n.” The black circle acts as a separator for the words “alterna” and “mix,” and I set out to do that before I started working on the design. The colors I chose are colorful but not too bright, also in connection with the music that’s mostly upbeat and sometimes uplifting, but some songs have a darker sound. Listen and download below.

1988 Hot Mix Rewind
This two-part club mix I created brings back the raw and creative style of 1980s Chicago Hot Mixing. I chose 1988 because there’s so much great music from that year. I created a cassette tape in Illustrator and used a boom box for the design because people would record mixes off of the radio back in the 80s. Listen and download below.

Chillsonic Vibes
This is a compilation I put together consisting of continuous chill music from around the world. The music I chose contains a surprising blend of relaxing electronica combined with upbeat vibes. I used a very minimal design approach and I created the halftone sound wave graphic in Illustrator to give the design an electronic look along with a rhythmic vibe. Listen and download below.

Electronic Beat 1.0
This is a compilation of up-beat electronica music I created. The artwork mimics the very electronic and somewhat chaotic nature of this music using many, many layers.

Journey Through Sound 3.0
This is a compilation I created consisting of exotic electronica music from around the world. The artwork showcases the relaxing, cutting-edge and modern feel of this music with footsteps in the sand in a very contemporary, minimal and monochromatic design with an interesting combination of vertical and horizontal typography.

These 80s Songs Are Like Totally Grody to the Max and All Copies Should Be Destroyed, Including This One
This is a super fun compilation of 80s music that I think is just plain bad, but it’s fun to listen to because well, it’s just so bad! I set out to create artwork that is equally bad, in an 80s way. I even made the title bad. It’s annoyingly long (the actual title is “These 80s Songs Are Like Totally Grody to the Max and All Copies Should Be Destroyed, Including This One”). The inside even includes instructions on how to destroy the CD. I made the CD label look like a small 45 RPM record to give it an 80s feel, and it even has a disclosure of side effects that could happen as a result of listening to this CD.

Sounds of Forgotten Rituals
This is a compilation of music that mimics the sounds of ancient tribes such as the Maya and the Nahuatl that inhabited the Yukatan Peninsula, which is now part of Mexico, dating back to 10,000 B.C. The artwork strives to match the feel of this ancient music style and the people that created it in ancient times.
