[ THE.BRIEF ]

Ehsaan Mesghali brought me onto the FREE 6LACK tour merchandise project. The core logo and bear iconography already existed; we worked together to develop the merchandise around them.

For the bear tee, we introduced Japanese kanji and explored variations of the primary logo and alternate marks. We drew on 1990s rock-tour graphics as a reference for the designs.

[ MY.ROLE ]

Collaborated with Ehsaan on merchandise graphics using the existing logo and bear iconography.
Worked together on print specifications, garment selection, samples, and revisions.
Submitted the work to 6LACK’s team for final approval.

Creative collaborator: Ehsaan Mesghali, Mesghali Studios. Core logo and bear iconography: pre-existing artist assets. Final approval: 6LACK’s team.
