POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Meet Brandon (@brandonstaniford) — a graphic designer crafting bold, music-loving work shaped by 80s aesthetics, internet archives, and a deep poster culture.

We talked about:
• The work most proud of — recent designs for the fantastic artist Mr. Fantasy, a reminder that posting online really can put work in front of the right eyes
• Where inspiration comes from — Instagram scrolls, plus deep dives into internet archives for old-school gradients and 80s-esque imagery
• The current work anthem — NEVER ENOUGH by Turnstile 🎸
• A lasting influence — One Piece, the anime that inspires the “just get up and try” mentality and reads sharply against today’s political climate
• A recent obsession with Pokémon cards — a long-running collection built around an enduring love for the art style on every card

I’d be lying to you if I told you I had the patience to do another one of these but for the first and last time I did enjoy the process!

REALITY AWAITS — THE STROKES

A little concept project I’ve been working on for The Strokes’ Reality Awaits.

Exploring a Western-inspired direction across vinyl packaging, tour posters and merch. Playing around with vintage imagery, textures and typography to create something that feels nostalgic but fresh.

A fun one to put together!

Personal concept project — unofficial and not affiliated with The Strokes.

Last slide is the images used all found on Internet archive.

A short film by @hofsstagram

If you’ve got a spare moment, go and give REMOTE a watch!
A brilliant short film with an important message behind it, and a reminder of something we should all do more often.

ALWAYS CHECK IN ON YOUR MATES!

Thanks @maxselwood for getting me involved in this project on a subject I hold really dear to heart by @brandonstaniford

FANTASYLAND ON VINYL! 💿

Still can’t believe I haven’t shared this yet!

Had the pleasure of working with @therealmrfantasy on the artwork for his debut album, Fantasyland.

Two vinyl editions, two colourways, plus a special heart-shaped vinyl for Valentine’s Day! ❤️

A whole lot of orange fur, funky colours and retro goodness. So good seeing these designs come to life in physical form!

Creative direction and design work.

CARRIE 2026

I just finished watching this series and absolutely loved it! I’m really curious to see how Mike Flanagan will further elaborate on Stephen King’s novel. I’m also wondering if he’ll tie in other stories, like The Dark Tower!

This is my take on the classic 1976 Carrie poster, but with visuals from the new series. #Carrie #StephenKing #MikeFlanagan #TheDarkTower

@dijondijon_ song - Yamaha

After seeing Dijon at all points east I got inspired! Used a few different methods to created this both physically and digital. Lots of fun and would love to make more work like this! Hopefully clearing the feed from the Ai slop!

Let me know your favourite version of this design!

MR. FANTASY’S OFFICIAL SEXY SATURDAY NIGHTS TOUR

Lots of fun making and creating some artwork for the tour poster! Always a pleasure working with @therealmrfantasy

The first 1 is the official work and the 2 were ideas I was playing around with!

Cheers @whatsalexdrawn for helping with the asset for the neon sign! Killer work!

Everyone knows I’m an absolute sucker for printing and rescanning in my work to get that realistic print texture and feel! by @brandonstaniford

THIS IS A CONCEPT! 2027 US+EU tour poster.

Using an image I shot whilst I was at @allpointseastuk

Absolutely loved seeing Faye’s set on the Saturday! Was a great day touching grass and seeing artists such as Daniel Caesar, Dijon and Tyler the creator! by @brandonstaniford

What the last 12 months of designing have looked like… 🧑‍💻

From a fun concept for @therealmrfantasy’s debut single, which led to becoming his designer across all mediums including website, collaborations and the concept for his debut album “Fantasyland”.

This year has been a whirlwind of incredible opportunities and I’ve been able to take the reins on a number of projects, further developing my skills and portfolio.

Seeing my work across billboards in Times Square, Coachella and in different cities across the world, as well as in print on vinyl has been insane! by @brandonstaniford
