The single cover for Ivan Garzón – Right Time features a cosmic design centered on a radiant pyramid emitting beams of light. Behind it, a celestial mandala or astrological clock glows with vivid purples, oranges, and blues. The artist's name arcs across the top in futuristic, stylized text, while the title Right Time appears boldly at the pyramid’s apex, aligned with the light burst. Framed by mountainous landscapes and a mirrored lake.

The album cover for The Message by Minna LaFortune features a colorful, festival-like scene with musicians and dancers set against a globe. The dominant colors—green, yellow, and red—reflect Rastafarian and Jamaican influences. A male singer with a guitar takes center stage, surrounded by instrumentalists, including a saxophonist and a bassist, while a lively female dancer raises her fist.

This single cover for Good Dayz features a young man with multicolored, neon-tinted hair and a reflective, iridescent jacket, standing under a moody, dusk-lit sky. Electric blues, magentas, and yellows bleed and melt into the surroundings. A rainbow-like streak pours from a power line, cascading down in liquid form. Urban setting, with a diner glowing in the background and wet streets reflecting the hues. The typography of Good Dayz mirrors the melting effect.

This cover for Bonzo Faya's "Nati Stanchi" features an acoustic guitar adorned with stickers, including a Jamaican flag, the phrase "Work Sucks, Go Surfing," and "Home Grown." The setting is a dimly lit, cozy room, with someone casually seated, holding a cigarette, their head replaced with a silhouette wearing sunglasses. The single's title is graffiti-style.
