Kel, as a graphic designer just starting to work in the "real world", this content is incredibly valuable. You don't understand how much value there is in seeing these behind the scenes and watching your process. It's the best way to learn, and you making this accessible for anyone shows how kind you are, and how much you care about the future of this industry. From a student and growing graphic designer, I thank you so much! :)

I've noticed too how incredibly valuable her bts videos are. She's made me understand how to organise my thoughts and ideas and where to start when implementing them. I've been shying away from graphics designing because it seemed like this hard thing that only specific talented people can do but after watching her rebranding videos it got me so excited that I downloaded illustrator for the first time and made a logo and I was so excited during the whole process. She's opened my eyes to the importance of graphics designers, we're a very important part of the whole thing.

As a designer who has watched your videos for years, this was SUCH a satisfying watch! Such a gorgeous piece, I am SO excited for you!! You're kindness and your overall mission to save our industry all really hit home so deep for me. We work in such a tough industry and its a little scary lately so people like you really do give me hope. Thanks for everything Kel and congrats ✨

i need you to know how powerful this design is. i knew of valley and liked a few of their songs, but i follow you on instagram and saw the post announcing the album/cover design and was in awe of how gorgeous it was. immediately i went to spotify and listened to the prerelease singles and became obsessed, loved the album when it finally came out and ordered the vinyl, and just sat and looked at the packaging forever. i saw them live in philly and as i was walking out, by some miracle, there was still some signed posters left and now i hold that poster so dear to me. its magic truly ✨

i journal and scrap book a lot and my design professor used to encourage me to continue making analogue art and using it for my designs. i ended up basing my whole thesis on that. this is so amazing what you did. i aspire to reach that level of satisfaction with my own work some day. gorgeous. i wish i could afford the vinyl just to hang it up in my room.

I've been listening to Valley for a while now and it's also because of your amazing taste in music. To see such beautiful tunes come to life with your crafts it feels like a full circle moment.

Incredible work Kel - looks super clean. Honestly so good. How difficult it can be to layout the lyrics and credits on the insert is so real hahaha I recently did artwork and packaging for Crawlers latest record through Polydor and it was SUCH a headache to lay it all out (especially the deluxe edition) but the end result is always so worth the stress!! You must be super proud - props.

Congrats Kel this is so cool and the entire album looks amazing!! I love doing collages in my journal mostly just layering things over each other but after seeing this I really need to do something with squares,, that lyric poster is so gorgeous (the entire packaging is) but something about that physical one you showed where it looked a bit like a checker board is so beautiful. Really appreciated the insight into the process :)

This is so incredible to see, congrats Kel! I remember you talking about wanting to do packaging design for an album and when I saw you post about this on IG I was so happy for you. As a fellow queer designer your videos are so insightful and just a joy to watch. Hoping I can get my way into album packaging one day because it seems so cool, especially with a smaller/independent artist or band. You are a star! 🌟

Ain't no way it's you who made that amazing cover! That's amazing! I loved the music in the album, but from the first moment I started exploring the songs, I knew what made me be engulfed in the aura of the album, was the design cover and how well it matched the vibes and the feelings I got.
