Art direction and packaging design for The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions, exploring Miles Davis's groundbreaking transition from acoustic to electric jazz.
During the project, I had the opportunity to learn about Miles Davis from Ashley Kahn, music historian and author of Kind Of Blue, who knew him, and whose insights helped inform the creative approach. The concept of transformation became the foundation of the visual identity, expressed through a series of deliberate transitions: from blue to yellow, from organic to mathematical patterns inspired by Miles's shirts, and from the blue slipcase to the yellow book cover. Even the typography reflects this idea, using The Mix, a hybrid typeface combining serif and sans-serif characteristics.
The resulting box set brings together music, photography, typography, and editorial design in a cohesive visual narrative, translating a pivotal moment in music history into a tactile experience.
