Plave: Yapping bout graphic design

Whoever the designers of Plave's branding, overall album designs, and digital content are (not related to virtual interactive stuff), Luv u (your work, actually lol)

I'm a such a nerd when it's bout graphic design, i love it so much, and this came to me (the need to talk bout this), cause I saw the packaging for Eunho's birthday kit, the illustration of muhmo in a pixel style is so cutee, the overall design is so adorable, the little pixilated wolf, so nicee

In general I think they have a really clean aesthetic, i don't know how to explain it actually lol, but it's kinda fresh, at least if I compare it to what is common to see design-wise from where I'm from, and talking bout the niche. I think it's cool that every one of their albums and projects have a personality on their own. It always expresses it so well, even if the cover (or whatever it is) is more on the abstract side.

Honestly, something I love bout plave is the graphic work, but putting aside all the work for the virtual universe they live in lol, that is super cool too, but I don't know bout that lol. My favorites are they typographic works, they're good, and the designs are always so harmonious, the use of the resources to bring something according to the concept, and in a way innovative if we talk bout the niche.

Something that not nerds (or non designers), ignores sometimes, is the importance of the typography and the weight it has on the project, but that is actually its charm, if it's well used you don't notice, you just see a really nice overall finished product, and that's what I love about Plave's designs, always cohesive, united as a whole concept, and appealing to the expressive resources a font can give.

Ofc I have to admit that it's not only the typography itself, but the way they work with it too, changing its morphology, adding elements, mixing styles, giving qualities like continuity by the elements put along the words, and playing with stuff like the kerning and interline to create a better composition, more aesthetic but functional. And ofc, they have some good typographic arrangements, that it's so satisfying to watch haha, talking bout merch or the imagery they create to promote the merch or events lol.

Another thing I really like is the work on their logo. I'm not the greatest fan of changing part of the graphic identity, but I guess we are already used to it (the shape of the logo, i mean), so it's ok(?). And since the essence remains in the morphology, talking about the structure, the construction of the exterior keeps feeling familiar, maybe bc of the pragnanz help idk

We understand it's a P. It keeps the flourish at the left, in some instances more abstract than others, but it's there. And the design is always flowing naturally with the comeback's concept, so I don't complain about the constant change. Actually, I'm kinda expecting what's coming next.

So, talking bout design and everything, I know is a work of many, surely in a long period of time that a team gave it all to achive this results, and I think is really cool, probably stressful af but I think it's worth it, to me it shows a really nice graphic quality, even tho I don't love everything, I think their work is just amazing and I really want to recognize it, I just think they're neat.

I really felt like this while writing this post, and I'm sure there's a lot of things I would want to add later, but I need to stop. I know this is only interesting to me hehehe but I'm overjoyed tbh
