Zion Graphics — Stockholm, Sweden

"I work mostly with the music industry, so my clients are the record companies and artists. When I’m commissioned, I have a meeting with the artist and try to get to know him/her and figure out what he/she likes and dislikes, and what kind of feel the cover should have. For me, getting to know the artist is more important than listening to the music."

Zion Graphics specialises in graphic and packaging design, mainly in the fields of music, fashion and entertainment. Zion is the Holy Land in the Rasta religion and founder Ricky Tillblad wanted to create his own little sacred parcel when he set up the company, which believes in the joy of taking a rough idea and polishing it into a brilliant one. Creative thinking and solid craftsmanship form the basis of Zion’s design process.
