cmmnd became the youngest uc licensee holders alongside the likes of
junya watanabe (ucla - f 2019) and
raf simons (cal - ck 205w39 resort 2019)
in this collection, i developed the design concept and roll-out strategy with a team, designed the graphic tee, and designed/produced a magazine.
model: mahal @ select models / photography: whoiskarlperkins
design concept: a contemporary spin on ucla’s iconic marks like retro joe bruin and dunking joe bruin from the 70’s. paying homage to throwback collegiate style. with a foot both in the past and present, cmmnd x ucla captures the ongoing fascination with nostalgic fashion while creating a new gender-neutral uniform for today’s youth.
inspired by cmmnd’s mission to promote the message that everyone is a creative within. this is the first time we see joe bruin’s creative side, representing the creative students of ucla.

design concept: a visual representation of cmmnd’s 3 recording artists’ differing musical identities through colors and photos, highlighting their dualities as individuals and as a collective
in ideating the direction of the visual aspect of the ep, i wanted to highlight cmmnd's ability to create mixtures of sounds and styles while maintaining cohesion. something dark but colorful at the same time.

cmmnd @ the moroccan
event flyer, artist flyers, merch, and sticker for cmmnd's concert at the moroccan lounge in march 2022
in creating the overall aesthetic of this project, I wanted it to feel like a diy project feel mixed with a rockband-style look.
this inspired the text inconsistencies and cut-and-paste collage mixed with the scanned-ink-bleed look.
