Kiko Machine is probably one of the remarkable band groups from our college (UP College of Fine Arts), especially during the early 2000s. The avowed members of this band are Manix Abrera, JP Cuison, Benrey Densing, Jefferson Azarcon, Billy Gary Reyes, and Dan Ramon, also known as "Spider-Dan".
So to commemorate college life, this plate exercise is tasked to be a "Reunion Album" for the band. Whereas, the iconic songs that they produced will be in one vinyl album. Our task for this plate is to create a cover album for the vinyl itself with song titles, merch, etc., that is enclosed inside it.
Therefore, I came up with the art direction of this design to be "portals" since the goal is about commemoration and nostalgia. Each member of the band holds a different fixing tool to rebuild the cat robot machine; a metaphor for each band member that they have roles to rebuild Kikomachine.
