Creative direction, design, and illustration for
Evann McIntosh’s Fantasy Fuel album art, packaging, logo, single art, press photography, and merch
Context
Evann McIntosh experienced phenomenal success as a 16-year-old TikTok star, racking up millions of streams on their bedroom pop music.
I met Evann when they were freshly 21, four years post-move, off of a musical hiatus, and settled into Chicago. That period of transition would go on to shape the work that followed. Their debut album, Fantasy Fuel, is a soulful and honest memoir of the joy and heartache of young adulthood.

This album cover was our attempt at capturing and distilling the essence of Evann’s creative journey and history with Chicago, while our single art hones in on more specific energies and elements of their story.
Press Photography
Shot in studio and around Chicago
Logo Design
Evann’s existing branding hinged on a double exclamation mark symbol they used informally across design and social. Because it was such a strong identifier, we decided to keep it and refresh it into updated full and condensed wordmarks, with an icon template for customizable illustrated exclamation mark variations.
