(01) Brief

Twelve records a year, one recognisable shelf.

Fenn needed every release to feel like its own record while still reading as Fenn from across a shop. The label had a small budget and no in-house designer, so the system had to be simple enough to run from a template.

(02) Approach

A master grid that every artist can bend.

Each sleeve uses the same five-column grid and catalogue numbering. Artists choose one photograph and one of three type scales. The grid does the rest, so the catalogue reads as a set without looking repetitive.
