A braille-based redesign of Vindata – Through Time and Space.., an EP originally released by OWSLA.

The concept was inspired by another EP I had seen that used dots to form the album title, then reading an article about a visually impaired raver who spoke about how music helped him come to terms with his disability. That combination sparked the idea to create a piece of design intended for someone who struggled to see it.

The cover features four tactile textures, influenced by the original EP artwork, which also uses four textured columns set against a black background. Translating these visual elements into touch-based forms became the core challenge of the project.

As design is typically so visually driven, it was a fascinating process creating something that prioritized physical interaction instead. The CD includes a booklet containing the track list and a short bio of the two artists that make up Vindata, all written entirely in braille.

This was a genuinely fun and rewarding project, and it exceeded my expectations. It was later seen, shared, and posted by Vindata themselves, as well as the founders of OWSLA.
