Gruppe Issue 6

Commissioned for the sixth issue of Gruppe, themed “On God”.
The cover explores a spiritual, sacred and tactile aesthetic, without referencing a specific belief system. Gruppe’s logo is embedded into the surface, rendered as embossed aged leather to emphasise depth and materiality.

Gruppe Issue 5

Themed around con artists and tricksters, the visual takes inspiration from one of the oldest street gambling games - Cups and Balls - where deception lies in the sleight of hand. Echoing the spirit of the trickster, the design plays with visibility, misdirection, and the blurred line between illusion and reality.
