Denis Mounet — Garde Espoir
“Garde Espoir” is a single by Denis Mounet.
I designed the cover art and the release package around it — the square artwork, a presentation mockup and the YouTube banner — so the single arrives with the same face on every platform it lands on.
About the client
Denis Mounet is an artist on E II Entertainment, and “Garde Espoir” (“Keep hope”) is one of his singles. The label wanted a release package that looked the same wherever the single appeared: in streaming apps, on a physical copy and on his YouTube channel.
What I designed
- The square cover art
- A presentation mockup of the physical release
- A YouTube channel banner announcing that the single is available on streaming platforms
- The “Denis Mounet” name treatment used on all three
The design choices
The cover is built around a portrait of the artist in a flowing orange robe and a woven straw hat, seated with a calabash beside a djembe, over a background of traditional patterns. The photo is treated with a warm, painterly finish so the whole image glows in terracotta and amber, the colours of the earth and of the instrument’s wood.
His name gets its own mark: the “D” of Denis is drawn as a microphone, a small detail that makes the name work as a logo across his releases. The title is set in a rough display letter that echoes the hand-made textures of the objects in the photo.
Where it works
The cover runs on streaming platforms, the mockup shows how the artwork translates to a printed release, and the YouTube banner extends the same photo to a very wide format, with the cover and the platform logos on the right, so fans recognise the single as soon as they land on his channel.
