Hardlore "Hardest Hardcore Band" Bracket Design | Knotfest Production

Hardlore "Hardest Hardcore Band" Bracket Design | Knotfest Production

For the Hardlore podcast by Knotfest, I designed another bracket to determine the "Hardest Hardcore Band." To capture the raw, unfiltered energy of the hardcore genre, I created a rugged design featuring a rusty, weathered background that mirrors the gritty atmosphere of hardcore. Instead of traditional lines, I used barbed wire graphics to connect the bands, symbolizing the harsh and relentless nature of the music.

I carefully selected bold, gritty fonts that resonate with the aggressive style of the genre, ensuring the text elements aligned seamlessly with the overall aesthetic. Each band's logo was thoughtfully incorporated into the design, creating a cohesive and visually impactful bracket. The result is a bracket that not only serves its functional purpose but also embodies the essence of hardcore culture, making it an integral part of the podcast’s exploration of the hardest bands in the scene.

Hardlore "Heaviest Band" Bracket Design | Knotfest Production

Hardlore "Heaviest Band" Bracket Design | Knotfest Production

For the Hardlore podcast, a Knotfest production, I designed a dynamic bracket for their "Heaviest Band" episode. The concept was to create a bracket that not only served a functional purpose but also visually captured the essence of the music being discussed. To achieve this, I incorporated a rough, textured background that reflects the gritty and raw nature of heavy music. The lines connecting the bands were crafted using chain graphics, symbolizing the strength and intensity associated with the genre. I selected fonts that resonate with the aggressive and bold style of music that the podcast celebrates. Each band's logo was placed within the bracket, ensuring that the design was not only cohesive but also visually striking. This project allowed me to blend functional design with a deep understanding of the musical culture, resulting in a bracket that is as heavy as the bands it represents.
