Audible Originals

Amazon

We are creating ongoing cover art for a new series of episodic “Audible Original” content developed as “cinema for your ears” for mainstream entertainment audiences who don’t regularly read books, so the objective was to create artwork that feels more like a movie poster than a book cover.

This series is available globally via the Audible app, but is marketed heavily to an Indian audience.


我们正在为新系列的“Audible Original”内容创作一系列的封面设计,这些内容意在打造成为“听觉电影”,适用于不定期阅读书籍的主流娱乐受众群体,因此目标是创作出一个与传统书籍封面相比更偏电影海报的设计。

该系列可通过Audible应用程序在全球范围预览,但更偏重印度市场。


BHOOTIYAPA / Cover Art

India’s scariest incidences are often witnessed by the most unexpected sources – the rickshaw drivers who work late at night, the factory workers, the delivery boys who travel far into India’s interiors, etc. This series recounts their most hair-raising real life tales, the strange phenomena, ghost sightings and supernatural incidences they’ve witnessed with their own eyes. Cinematic sound design allows listeners to travel the country with them, late at night, in the back seat of their car, in the back corner of a factory, as they retell these incredible tales. The series is narrated by the subjects themselves, a first-of-its-kind eye witness series meant to transform listeners’ evening commutes as they too wonder, what tales their own driver can tell.

For this cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Aaron Pinto.


印度最可怕的事故常常从最出乎意料之外的渠道得到证实:深夜工作的人力车司机、工厂工人、印度国内的快递员……该系列讲述了他们现实生活中最令人毛骨悚然的故事以及奇怪的现象。他们亲眼目睹的鬼魂与超自然事件。如同影院般的音效将使你在他们讲述这些令人难以置信的故事同时也在深夜里与他们一起环游国家,仿佛置身于他们的汽车后座、工厂角落。该系列由事件者自己讲述,这是第一个目击者系列,旨在传递信息给到听众当他们在夜间通勤时,因为他们也很想知道自己的驾驶员会讲些什么。

我们与现居于孟买的艺术家Aaron Pinto合作完成了此封面设计。


SENTIMENTAL / Cover Art

This series removes the stigma from openly talking about mental health by two comedians who share their own mental health journey and guests on every episode (comedians, actors, experts, etc.) who are funny, honest and completely unashamed to talk about what’s been an otherwise taboo subject in India.

Mental Health is completely normal. Talk about how you’re feeling. Vent. Laugh with friends. Don’t feel ashamed to tell others how you feel.

For this cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Priyanka Paul.


该系列消除了喜剧演员公开谈论心理健康的不便,将这个话题开诚布公地展现在听众面前。2位喜剧演员互相分享自己的心理健康历程,每集节目嘉宾(喜剧演员,演员,专家……)都以有趣、诚实且大胆的方式谈论在印度被禁忌的话题。

心理健康的注重和沟通是完全正常的。谈论你的感受。和朋友一起笑和发泄。大胆地告诉他人你的感受吧。

我们与现居于孟买的艺术家Priyanka Paul合作完成了此封面设计。


MINE AND YOURS / Cover Art

A fictional drama about hidden desires and unfulfilled lust in a relationship. This is the first completely uncensored romantic audio drama in India (featuring the first ever audio sex scene). “Yours” is cheating on her husband and has a secret she hasn’t told “Mine”. “Mine is hiding something from Yours too. As we listen – from first hookup to a full blown affair as we listen in hidden hotel rooms, dark corners and even in Paris – we, the audience, discover Mine and Yours are keeping a secret from us too. This is the 50 Shades (minus the chains and whips) of audio entertainment.


这是一部关于隐藏与未实现的欲望的虚构爱情故事。它也是印度第一个完全未经审查的浪漫音频剧(有史以来本土第一条以音频性爱场面为特色的剧)。“Yours”背叛了丈夫并藏有一个秘密,她没有告诉“Mine”。 “Mine”同时也对“Yours”有所隐瞒。我们可以聆听 – 如同我们在酒店的隐秘房间得知他们的第一次秘密见面,从黑暗的角落甚至到巴黎 – 我们作为听众们逐步发现Mine和Yours也对我们保有秘密。这是50度灰(除了手铐和手鞭)版的音频读物。


SPOT DADA / Cover Art

Every major Bollywood set is home to hundreds of spot boys and crew who are privy to the most intimate, unvarnished behind-the-scenes stories. Because they are invisible and their presence often ignored, they hold the secrets to the stars… until now.

This series tells the stories of 20 of India’s best new upcoming hip-hop artists- from Prabh Deep, to Naezy, to Sez on the Beat, etc. These are the most exciting storytellers in music today.

They want their voice and their message to be heard.

For this cover artwork, we collaborated with New York-based artist Nehal Josh.

BE STUPID / Cover Art

In each episode, Vir Das and his guest reveal how stupid decisions in your career, your love life, your relationship with your parents…can change your life for the better.

The happiest, most successful people do stupid sh*t. Defy convention, break the rules – we’ve been taught to live by the rules. But no life worth living, or career worth having comes from a straight and narrow path. Give yourself the freedom to do stupid sh*t in your life and career because it may just be the best decision you’ve ever made.

For this cover artwork, we collaborated with New York-based artist Nehal Josh.

SWAMI HASYADEV MAHARAJ / Cover Art

Swami Hasyadev Maharaj is Vir Das’s spiritual alter ego, a sweet-talking guru who touts the miraculous power of laughter and offers disastrously misguided advice. He’s so convinced of his beliefs, and so endearingly out of his depth, that you might just wonder if he’s onto something. Starring Suresh Menon in his first series on Audible. 

For the cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Ajinkya Bane.


Swami Hasyadev Maharaj 是 Vir Das 精神上的另一个自我。他是一位慈祥的宗师,相信笑声所带来的奇迹般的力量,并总能给出非常糟糕且不合常理的建议。Swami Hasyadev Maharaj 十分坚定地相信自己的信仰,而且表现出超出了他自己的深度的可爱,使听众情不自禁的开始相信他自己的那套糟糕又不合常理的建议。由演员苏雷什·梅农(Suresh Menon)配音,这是他在Audible上呈现的第一个系列。

我们与现居于孟买的艺术家Ajinkya Bane合作完成了此封面设计。


AGLA STATION INVESTIGATION / Cover Art

Agla Station Investigation is a true-crime parody series. Each episode features sergeant Aishwaryuh and two detectives investigating a new “crime”——such as a stolen office lunch or a doll that’s missing its head—that hardly warrants an investigation.

Under the leadership of Aishwaryuh, the two airheaded detectives of the petty crimes division—Aiyadaman and Chanaka—are quickly whipped into shape. Despite solving a record number of cases, the ambitious Aishwaryuh isn’t content with being stuck working small-time misdemeanors. She’s eager to move up the ranks and work homicide cases, which she eventually succeeds in doing.

Both victims and investigators in this series treat these humdrum occurrences with the seriousness of a gritty crime drama. Agla Station Investigation is an absurd sendup of a familiar genre.

For the cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Priyanka Paul.


《阿格拉站的调查》是一个真实犯罪模仿秀的系列。每集讲述的都是由新来的探长和两名探员一起调查一个不同的 “犯罪活动”,例如:丢失的办公室午餐,没有头部的洋娃娃等这类不太值得进行调查的事件。

在新来的探长Aishwaryuh的领导下,轻罪部门的破案率提升了许多,她手下的两名滑稽的探员Aiyamdaman和Chanakya也变得训练有素。但尽管解决了许许多多的案件,雄心勃勃的Aishwaryuh并不满足于解决的小规模的轻罪案件,Aishwaryuh渴望去谋杀部门充分发挥自己的才能,最终她成功了。

在这个系列的故事里,受害者和探员都使用对待真正的犯罪活动一样的严肃态度来对待这些单调乏味的日常事件。 《阿格拉站的调查》是以一个搞笑浮华的的方式来模仿一个熟悉的犯罪节目的故事。

我们与现居于孟买的艺术家Priyanka Paul合作完成了此封面设计。


A WEEK TO KILL / Cover Art

A Week to Kill is a stand-up comedy series created and hosted by Abish Mathew.

In an ultimate test of comedic wit, each episode of A Week to Kill features a guest comedian who’s given a week to put together a brand-new standup set around an assigned topic—which they then perform in front of a live audience.

From brainstorming jokes to practicing delivery, the series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of different stand-up comedians. But under such a tight deadline, will they kill it or bomb on stage?


A Week to Kill是由Abish Mathew创作和主持的单口喜剧系列。

在这场幽默与睿智兼并的终极考验中,A Week to Kill的每一集都会邀请一位喜剧演员以全新脱口秀形式在现场观众面前表演。在正式上台前每位喜剧演员只有一周的时间去围绕指定主题做准备。

从笑点的苦思冥想到最终的呈现,该系列将喜剧演员们的创作过程及幕后花絮一齐提供给听众。 在如此紧迫的时间内,他们的作品究竟是被临末枪毙了还是被完美演绎了呢?


JAB WE SEX / Cover Art

Jab We Sex is a sex-education show that covers every topic you should know but are too afraid to ask – from contraception to pleasure and everything in between, including some serious topics like abuse.

We often shy away from pleasure or getting the information we need because we’re too afraid to ask. This series provides a safe space to satisfy every question. Jab We Sex celebrates sex — not just sex without shame, but opening up our experiences to a world of pleasure.

For the cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Durvesh Gaikar.


《Jab We Sex》是一部性教育系列节目,其内容涵盖了那些难以启齿的主题 – 从避孕到性愉悦的全套知识,甚至包括一些比较严肃的主题,比如虐待等。

我们常常谈性色变以至于我们不敢开口去问。 该系列提供一个安全且舒适的空间来满足听者对于每个问题的渴望。《Jab We Sex》倡导性爱 – 不仅是毫无忌惮的性爱,更是引领我们进入一个性享乐的世界。

我们与现居孟买的艺术家Durvesh Gaikar合作完成了该系列的封面设计。


SASURAL WONDER PHOOL / Cover Art

Sasural Wonder Phool is about the daily routine and adventuress of a small sex clinic in old Delhi run by a multigenerational family and how it affects the married life of the lead couple.

For the cover artwork, we collaborated with Mumbai-based artist Anil Saxena.


Sasural Wonder Phool讲述了位于旧德里的一家由几代家庭经营的小型性诊所的日常工作和经历,以及这些经历是如何影响主角夫妇的婚姻生活。

Transformers: The Last Knight

Coca Cola

As part of Coca Cola’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” promotion in China, we created a limited-edition packaging set of 330ml sleek cans. The set features abstract versions of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee.

Take It To The Streets

adidas Originals

We developed an out-of-home (OOH) campaign to support adidas Originals’ ZX Family “Take It To The Streets” campaign. The campaign leveraged guerrilla-style executions of wheatpaste street art posters throughout Beijing and Shanghai.

The posters were 1-to-1 full body-sized photography portraits of street-fashion models styled in adidas Originals’ looks wearing different ZX footwear. The posters were given a raw, selective desaturated treatment in which the models were made a muted black-and-white, while the ZX footwear were made bright and bold. The model poses in the posters were pre-designed to fit a variety of unexpected and interactive urban environments. The concept integrates different ZX footwear with street fashion and culture in an authentic, creative way.

We created a short documentary to capture the whole effort, from model photography and styling in our studio, to the graphic design and poster production, through to our street art teams in Beijing and Shanghai executing the artwork in the cover of night.


我们为配合adidas Originals ZX Family系列的“Take it to the Streets”宣传活动展开了一场游击式街头艺术活动,该活动在北京和上海两座城市以wheatpaste的街头海报形式呈现。

这些街头海报将穿着Originals服装配以不同ZX鞋款的街头造型依照真人比例印制而成。海报中的模特部分均呈低饱和度黑白原始效果,旨在让脚上的ZX系列鞋款以其固有配色凸显出来。让其巧妙地与城市环境相容并带有互动性,我们预先设计了这些模特姿势。此次概念将不同的ZX系列鞋款与街头时尚、文化和态度以极具创意且真实的方式完美融合。

我们同时为此次执行拍摄了一条短片以记录整个创作过程,从模特造型、棚拍到图片设计,再到最我们在北京和上海的连夜执行全过程。

Lane Crawford engaged us to create an innovative and engaging retail window installation at its flagship Shanghai store along bustling Huaihai Rd.

Geometric shapes are the inspiration behind this series of window installations and sculptures, titled Geometric Fusion / Fashion Evolution (时尚演化). Within the forms of rectangle, circle, triangle, and diamond, we remix and fuse four artists’ styles with Lane Crawford’s iconic products.

The installation concept aims to break the boundaries of design across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle; helping viewers discover a new world of style.


连卡佛邀请我们为其上海淮海路旗舰店主橱窗创作了一组系列装置设计。

这组主题为Geometric Fusion / Fashion Evolution (时尚演化)的橱窗装置和雕塑以几何形态元素为创意灵感,融入长方形,圆形,三角形和菱形等多种造型,我们将四位艺术家的独特风格与连卡佛的标志性商品相结合,制作了一组生动的橱窗装置。

此橱窗的设计概念旨在打破时装,美容和生活方式之间的界限; 让观者发掘一个新的感官盛宴。


Circle: A Spacetime Odyssey (星际漫游), Winnie Chi 

Inspired by the work of digital artist Ryoji Ikeda, this installation’s theme is based on the spherical and infinite vastness of the cosmos, incorporating Lane Crawford products into a pop-art style treatment.


受艺术家Ryoji Ikeda的数码作品启发,该橱窗的设计主题基于探索浩瀚无尽的宇宙,将连卡佛的商品置放于具有波普风格的装置设计中。

此装置将连卡佛的商品与消费者及其日常生活的可视化串联起来。方形展区体现了商品与消费者之间相辅相成的特性。


Triangle: Nomadic, Sui Yao

Inspired by Alexander Calder’s three-dimensional line drawings, this installation uses Lane Crawford products, including shoes, sweaters, and hoodies, to express the elegance and beauty of visual balance within triangular shapes.

Chengyu Visualized

Hyatt Andaz

Storytelling takes many forms and idioms are one of the most elegant ways to encapsulate rich stories in just a few words or characters. Those passionate about Chinese culture know “Chengyu” –four character Chinese idioms–are a priceless and colorful source of Chinese myths, folktales, and historical facts that teach lessons about morality, life, and nature.

We’ve always believed that Chengyu should be celebrated more widely and in a variety of styles, including taking a modern approach to the visual reinterpretation of the four characters that make them up and the stories the phrases tell. That’s why we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Osage Art Consultancy to curate and produce an exhibition at Hyatt ANDAZ Shanghai titled “Chengyu Visualized.”

For the exhibition, 21 emerging Chinese artists from all over the country visually interpreted their favorite “chengyu” through typography design and artwork. “Chengyu Visualized” captures the essence of traditional Chinese idioms in a modern way, while showcasing a variety of individual artistic styles through various mediums.

We collaborated with several leading edge Chinese artists: Elephant, Niu Xiaosheng, Lok Ng, Garfield.M, IMKENICAN, Lulu, Mojo, Sally Zou, SO.P, Shrek Su, Hong Hua, Hua Tunan, Coozie, Broken Bike, Mei Lin, Su Sisi, Shadow Chen, Tan Se, Wang Na, Wang2Mu, and Momo.


中国的汉语本就博大精深,而其中富有玩味的成语更是让汉语文化锦上添花,通过凝炼的四字短语(就通常而言)反映、表达出缤纷多彩的人文世界以及人情道理。

一直以来我们都认为成语应该用不同寻常的方式来表现,会别有情趣。很高兴受到上海新天地全新开业的精品酒店ANDAZ的委托,新茶和Osage Art Consultancy合作策划了这次“成语视觉化”的展览。

我们为此邀请了21位来自中国不同城市的创作人针对21个成语进行了一番字体和插画的艺术再创作,用插画向观者传达成语包含的意思,这一饱含中国传统历史文化的成语经过这21位中国年轻创作人之后又会展现怎样的风貌呢?

此次参加创作的艺术家有:大象、牛小盛、Lok Ng、Garfield. M、IMKENICAN、Lulu、MOJO、Sally Zou、SO.P、黑设绘、红花、画图男、Coozie、烂单车、梅林、苏四饲、Shadow Chen、炭色、汪娜、王二木和Momo。

Artist interpretation – “This idiom evokes a strong sense of classic and elegant beauty. When it came to font design, I tried to preserve the fundamental style of the character while also smoothing out the lines by adding curves. The illustration uses simple, yet abstract elements to portray poetic scenes of beauty.”

Momo / 蚌病生珠

Chengyu – bàng bìng shēng zhū / 蚌病生珠

Literal meaning – “A sick clam births a pearl.” Clams must first endure the hardship of ingesting gritty sand before they are able to create beautiful pearls. This idiom draws a parallel to people that are forced to deal with adversity throughout their lives. It is through these hardships that they are able to gain a unique perspective on life and their surroundings, and in turn produce some of the world’s most beautiful works.

Artist interpretation – “I chose to use a line drawing method for this piece and incorporated some elements of plane geometry around the clam to represent pearls and other products of its experience. In its lifetime the clam has experienced both tribulation and enlightenment, and it faces it all with a smile.”

Artist interpretation – “Eyes are the most important element in interpreting emotion and life. They play a pivotal role in helping us understand the world and beings around us. Each individual person’s interpretation of eyes is very different, and by changing unique details in a characters eyes, I’m able to alter the mood of the entire painting.”


成语 – “huà lóng diǎn jīng” / 画龙点睛

字面意思 – 说话或做事关键部位处理得好,使整体效果更加传神。

创作解读 – 成语的趣味在于它可以被随性地定义。“画龙点晴”相比近义的“点睛之笔”,除了“灵性”意味之外更具备主观色彩。“睛”是我们体会世界最主要的媒介,然而它往往会被自己或他人主观的“点”出来,因此我们所体会到的,都会如“画龙”般不同于现实。缺乏主观观察的世界,使字似字,却不完整,需要的便是“画龙点睛”般主观的一笔。


Garfield / 作茧自缚

Chengyu – zuò jiǎn zì fù / 作茧自缚

Literal meaning – “To spin a cocoon around oneself.” This idiom alludes to a person who makes matters more difficult “Eyes are the most important element in interpreting emotion and life.

Artist interpretation – “Delicate brushwork, asymmetrical elements, gorgeous colors; these are all things I incorporated into the piece to translate the beauty of life among the chaos of living it. The subject of the painting evokes humor while portraying an interesting view of the human condition.”


成语 – “zuò jiǎn zì fù” / 作茧自缚

字面意思 – 蚕吐丝作茧时,把自己包在里面。比喻人做事原来希望于自己有利,结果却反使自己吃亏受到连累。也比喻自己束缚自己。

创作解读 – 细腻的笔法,不对称的元素,单纯绚丽的颜色,具有动感的构成画面,力图在画面中诙谐而带有趣味性勾勒出的某种生活状态,某种人的状态。为了强调主题中的“自缚”的形象,烘托出这种“失衡”的感受,在画面内容的构架中,瘦弱的主角承载着他背上的巨大的背囊,同时还企图得到更多。运用生活中的各种物质作为一种代表的元素,简单明了的呈现某一种疯狂的生活现象。


Tan Se / 鹤立鸡群

Chengyu – hè lì jī qún / 鹤立鸡群

Literal meaning – “A crane standing among a flock of chickens.” This idiom is used to describe a person who towers above his peers, much as a crane would when standing among a flock of chickens.

字面意思 – 形容美好的国土。

创作解读 – 以全新的视觉营造传统山水的气势,用颜料做元素,给观者一种视觉上的冲击,颠覆审美上的习惯,从而激发观者的灵感。


Mojo / 掩耳盗铃

Chengyu – yǎn ěr daò líng / 掩耳盗铃

Literal meaning – “To plug one’s ears while stealing a bell.” This idiom is meant to characterize a person that is foolishly blinded by their own self-deception. Such a person would be acting with the same foolishness as a thief trying to steal a bell with his ears plugged; unaware of the attention he is drawing to himself because he has chosen to block out the ringing.

Artist interpretation – “People go to extremes to trick themselves into believing that their delusions could be easier to achieve if they just ignore the obstacles that stand in their way. They remain unaware of the risks and dangers, yet recklessly move forward to entertain their impulses.”

成语 – “tū fēi měng jìn” / 突飞猛进

字面意思 – 用来形容进步的速度很快。

创作解读 – 采用“突”的谐音“兔” 将兔子化身为行动迅速,雷厉风行的超人,通过兔子翱翔天空,速度媲美飞机的英姿,形象地突出“突飞猛进”的主题。


Lok Ng / 非礼勿言

Chengyu – fēi lǐ wù yán / 非礼勿言

Literal meaning – “The impolite must not be said.” This idiom was commonly used in ancient times when Chinese people lived in a very strict hierarchical society. There were many things that people weren’t permitted to say to someone of an older generation or higher social class. This expression is still used today to denote something that is too impolite to say.

Artist interpretation – “The flower and butterfly elements work to establish a sense elegance, while the woman’s facial expressions indicate that she is restraining herself from expressing her thoughts. Her hands work to repress her impolite thoughts, which are represented by the ink splatters that taint the image.”


成语 – “fēi lǐ wù yán” / 非礼勿言

字面意思 – 不合符礼教的话不能说。

创作解读 – 在整体的设计上运用了水彩及水墨的感觉,在纸上绽放出一种优雅的感觉,以花朵和蝴蝶去点缀表现“礼”的美。在画里的出现了两只手分别捂着嘴,预示出没有礼貌的话不能说,不道德的话不能说。背景的墨水预示凡事不礼言相对,必定祸从口。

Literal meaning – “Gentle breeze and bright sunshine.” This idiom is used to describe the weather on a beautiful day.

字面意思 – 和风习习,阳光灿烂。形容晴朗暖和的天气。

创作解读 – 让看到作品的人的心情像“风和日丽”的天气一样晴朗暖和!作品用了假剪纸投影的效果,清新可爱的颜色诠释了和风习习,阳光灿烂的画面。瓢虫爷爷带着瓢虫奶奶在风和日丽的天气出游,是多么惬意的一件事情啊!


Lulu / 相濡以沫

Chengyu – xiāng rú yǐ mò / 相濡以沫

Literal meaning – “To moisten each other with spit.” This idiom alludes to a Chinese folktale about two beached fish struggling to keep each other alive by using all the fluids they have left in them / around them to moisten each other. The expression is used to implore people to be altruistic in helping one another in times of need, no matter how scarce resources may be and without regard to one’s own well-being.

Artist interpretation – “The use of the black gel pen on white paper outlines the movement of the two mermaids stranded on the beach struggling to make their way back to the ocean. The bottom portion of the piece is meant to provide a stark contrast, showing life in the water thriving as usual.”

成语 – “jiàn guài bù guài” / 见怪不怪

字面意思 – 发现怪事怪物不要惊慌,它就不会危害了。

创作解读 – 你见到的怪物是真实的,你梦到的也是真是的,你走进去了才能发现原来怪物是那么多。运用黑白素描的表现方式,这样制作起来很有成就感。画面的构成上,我采用了一只大大的眼球怪物,犀利的眼神看着周围的一切,当然你也见到了他,所以都那么顺其自然吧,部要大惊小怪,要见怪不怪,回头就当做这一切都没发生吧。


Wang Na / 山鸡舞镜

Chengyu – shān jī wǔ jìng / 山鸡舞镜

Literal meaning – “A pheasant dancing in front of a mirror.” This idiom refers to a story in which a pheasant becomes obsessed with her own reflection while dancing in front of a mirror and ultimately dances herself to death. The expression is meant to be a reminder that narcissism is not healthy, and that one should not over-indulge in self-admiration.

成语 – “hóng hú zhī zhì” / 鸿鹄之志

字面意思 – 形容志向远大。

创作解读 – 浪漫的威慑性格分裂。慑人的爪子叼着的不是死体而是浪漫的玫瑰,在天空翱翔的雄鹰想要向人传达的是有时候用更温柔点的方式也可以完成远大的志向。
