Spiral Fire - Cover Art
Spiral Fire is the cover artwork created for Jasmine Saeed’s single, developed through an exploration of the song’s central themes. The visual identity is built around ideas of personal roots, identity, resilience, and transformation, expressed through a combination of layered textures and symbolic illustration.
Concept Development
The design concept for this single originated from the themes woven throughout the track: DNA, personal growth and change, and the effects of where we grow up and the pressure to make it out and be successful.
To represent this, a textured base was developed to symbolise the layers that form identity — the stories, influences, and strength carried through generations.
A panther motif sits at the centre of the artwork. Chosen for its symbolic resonance within the song, the panther represents resilience, perseverance, and transformation. It embodies the emotional arc of the track — moving through challenge and emerging changed — and serves as a visual touchpoint for the song’s themes.
Creative Process
The piece combines the organic textures of watercolour and oil pastel with digital refinement, creating a layered and immersive artwork. Hand-made marks provide a tactile foundation, while digital techniques unify the composition, enhancing texture, colour, and depth.
The design was developed through collaboration, exploring themes of DNA and fire, while drawing on Jasmine Saeed’s spirituality, a key part of her artistic identity. It evolved to centre on the panther as a symbol of transformation and the strength of femininity, resulting in a final artwork that reflects both the song’s energy and the artist’s essence.
