Cross & Anchor

Move In Your Church — a live worship record from Detroit, wrapped in color.

We led creative direction and design for Cross & Anchor Worship's Move In Your Church, from the live session videos to every piece of the release: a gradient cover that captures the feeling of the room, a typographic back cover, a fold-out CD insert built from cut-out portraits of the band, and the promo that carried the title track to 100K streams.

01 — The cover

The color of the room.

We directed the live sessions in rooms washed in colored light, then pulled that light into a single gradient, from warm yellow to violet. It carries the whole release: videos, cover, tracklist, insert and promo.

02 — The CD insert

The whole band, in one frame.

A fold-out insert that gathers cut-out portraits of every musician around the cover, ringed by lines from the songs, with lyric panels for each song in the corners.
