Mommy Issues
Graphic Design, Illustration
Client:
Mommy Issues is a Prague-based rock band. Their sound blends old-school rock with a cheeky, carefree attitude.
Creative Brief (Summary):
The band wanted a brand identity that reflects their fun, rebellious energy, with strong Rock’n’Roll roots and a cheeky, sexy twist. They cited inspirations like The Rolling Stones, The Black Keys, and The Strokes, and wanted a direction that could easily evolve into merchandise—cool enough to wear, not just band gear. A pin-up rebel icon was floated as a possible central motif.
My Approach:
I built a visual world that fuses vintage rock iconography with modern, playful illustration—leaning into the rebel pin-up concept but giving it a fresh, irreverent twist. Key elements include:
Illustration Style: Hand-drawn, bold, and a bit cheeky—channeling the energy of classic tattoo art with a punk edge.
Typography & Layout: Vintage-inspired fonts with gritty textures, layered to evoke old gig posters and zines.
Color Palette: High-contrast reds, blacks, and off-whites to reflect both passion and rawness, keeping the look bold and stage-ready.
Merch Potential: Every graphic was created with merch in mind—from t-shirts and tote bags to stickers and posters. The iconography is adaptable and instantly recognizable.
