DBH Music Series Presents Incubus

From the intricate and symbolic effects of Light Grenades and ACLOTM album covers to the simple beauty of the coastline on Morning Views, the music of Incubus is expressed through a range of visual styles.

Brandon Boyd's design for the Monuments and Melodies album cover is the latest Incubus creation that underscores their potent connection to art.

DBH caught up with Incubus in L.A. a couple weeks ago and introduced them to the DesignByHumans community. The band loved what they saw and are eager to add some hÜman touch to their world by participating in our next sponsored contest.

So, here’s what’s on the line:

3 Lucky Winners Will Receive

Band Pick
$800 Cash
$250 DBH Store Credit
Incubus Merchandise Pack

DBH Pick

Good luck and have fun!

Brandon Boyd is actually a really talented artist, he’d probably have no problem winning this contest himself if he weren’t in the band, haha. You guys better bring your A game.

“Note: Submissions containing Incubus design elements that are not found in the provided style guide will be rejected.”

I don’t get this… this means that the only logo we can use is the one in the zip file? I don’t think so… since i see a few designs with different logos.

Anyway, i would like to say congrats on these great contests DBH! Niiiice!

The logo contained in the style guide is the only official art that was supplied. Some people have created their own, and that’s fine – that’s being creative.

Do Not get images of the band off the internet to use in your design or it will be rejected. They don’t want photos of themselves on a shirt, they could do that on their own computers. If you want to hand draw the band members that would be more creative. Be original with your artwork!
