Description: The Parrots and El Último Vecino are two bands from the recent underground movement in Spain: the first one taking references from tecno pop and 80's new wave music, and the other from the new wave of garage. Each one made a single cover that explores other genres. 'Soy peor' is a song by the trap and reggaeton artist Bad Bunny and 'Mi chulo' is a song by Spanish trap singer La Zowi, couple of Yung Beef, a pioneer of trap in Spain. An alternative design for these singles was made reflecting that mix of opposite genres, merging metal type and vintage aesthetics. Also, graphics are easily adaptable to make merchandising, like t-shirts or hoodies. The result is a range of absurd visuals which ironize on the idea of identity, where typography is questioned as a solid tool to build it.

Format: Album cover (2) and merchandising
