In April of 2016, Spectregates, a local indie band, released their debut album. In support of their dark electro-pop tracklist, they wanted to have a visual language that reflected the overarching themes and mood of their album. After meeting with the band, it was established that in addition to album artwork, poster, pins, social media graphics along with projections for their live shows were needed to reflect their lyrics and melodies. Over the span of a month the visuals were created and released at a live show celebrating their debut.
“Melanie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She partnered up with my band for our album release, took on the entire multi-media project, and delivered a product beyond any of our expectations. Her work consisted of branding and packaging for the CDs, album art, web design, poster design, and videos and photos compiled into visuals corresponding to our music for the live performance. Not only does she bring her own inventive ideas to the table, but she’s incredibly perceptive to what her client is looking for – and works hard to achieve the desired result. She’s committed to whatever she takes on, and provides a variety of templates to choose from. Her thoughtful eye for detail truly astounded us and our audience. Melanie produces beautiful work under tight deadlines, and always keeps a positive attitude. Nothing but praise for this highly creative, versatile artist.”

“From the album artwork, to its title and tracks, there is definitely a brooding, dark, and almost bewitching thematic element woven throughout. Correspondence leads you through what is a very pleasingly put-together effort in terms of both aesthetic and thematic material.”
