Justin Kohlberg

Art director and designer for music and film.

I build the visual world around a release: the film, the record, the merch, the print, and in some cases even the music. Some I design myself, but my true passion is collaborating with others. Based in Northeast Los Angeles.

DesignI set the vision.
Art directionI set the concept and direction, working with friends and collaborators to bring the vision to life.

Rosebud & Sons

Logo and package design, rosewater spray

An apothecary-style wordmark with a punk tagline, "Spray Or Die." The grain gradient stands in for mist, so the brand reads as a spray before you see a bottle.

Infinite Escalator

A 16mm surf film and the release built around it

I directed and edited the film, then set the visual direction for the soundtrack LP, a 26-page companion newspaper and the sticker set, working with designers who built each piece.
