Project Overview.

RICOCHET is a single released in anticipation of Chase Atlantic's fourth studio album, LOST IN HEAVEN. As a long-time devoted listener, this release evoked a sense of motivation and inspiration, prompting me to create supplementary material for the single.

Artwork featuring the two creatures; Aura and Void are created by Chase Atlantic's creative, Chris Shelley (@create).

The physical copies of the single in CD and vinyl form captures Chase Atlantic’s signature aesthetic, dark, sleek, and immersive, while creating a tangible item that fans would want to collect. The combination of clean typography, modern gradients, and subtle detailing ties back to the atmospheric tone of RICOCHET and the LOST IN HEAVEN album campaign.  

This breakdown showcases a cohesive set of visual assets created for Chase Atlantic’s single "RICOCHET," leading up to their fourth studio album, Lost in Heaven. The designs reflect the single's moody, futuristic aesthetic and maintain consistent branding across digital and physical formats. The social media header features overlay blending modes, grainy textures, and pixelated typefaces to create a modern, digital feel while highlighting key details like the single title, album name, and release date. The single cover, predominantly blue with 3D-modeled elements and surreal character imagery, establishes a dreamy, atmospheric look that ties into the album’s overarching themes. Across all assets, the consistent use of typography, colors, and textures reinforces Chase Atlantic’s identity, creating a seamless experience that resonates with the album’s narrative and aesthetic. 

Challenge.

The goal was to create supplementary visuals for RICOCHET that felt like they belonged inside Chase Atlantic’s official campaign, not fan-made add-ons. The timing mattered. Engagement around a single moves fast, so everything needed to be designed and released almost immediately while still feeling intentional.

Working without official assets or label direction meant I had to rely purely on the existing visual language of the RICOCHET and Lost in Heaven rollout. The challenge was matching that energy and mood while pushing it forward in a way that felt fresh, cohesive, and worth paying attention to.

Result.

The project expanded RICOCHET into a full visual world across motion, physical concepts, and promotional pieces. The lyric video was designed and uploaded within hours of release and has since reached 30,000+ views on YouTube, with overwhelmingly positive comments from fans who felt the visuals matched the energy and mood of the track.

The strong response confirmed that the work resonated beyond just aesthetics. Viewers consistently mentioned the flow, typography, and atmosphere feeling on-brand and immersive.

Alongside the lyric video, the conceptual vinyl, CD, posters, and social assets extended the single into collectible and promotional formats. Every piece shared the same dark, futuristic tone as the official campaign, creating a cohesive system that feels intentional, current, and release-ready. Overall, the project highlights my ability to move fast, trust my creative instincts, and deliver visuals that genuinely connect with an audience in real time.
