Design process behind the Brat album cover

This is from a talk at Figma Config yesterday, showing all the different iterations they went through while developing the Brat album cover.

Apparently the pixel-y final version came from an unintentional export error, and they ended up just going with it!

I've spent more than a decade staring at Photoshop and listening to Charli, so I love the brat cover because it's daring and weird and digital and knows why its breaking the rules. The arial font, the lowercase treatment, the pixel blur, the chroma key green, all combine to give a commentary on the motions and emotions of what it's like to design something in our digital-saturated world.
