metamorphosis - kinetic flux
Locus 2025 was a multi-layered contest launched in early 2025 to bring the creative circles on osu! closer together. Submissions to this contest included the following elements:
An original song of length 1:30–3:00.
A full beatmap spread on the osu! game mode that satisfies the ranking criteria.
Visual assets (e.g. background/storyboarding/video).
I built and lead a team, metamorphosis, consisting of Gordon (mapper), mintIceCream (mapper), metahumanboi (musician), RiceSS (storyboarder), and myself (graphic design and project lead)
I began by creating a bunch of different renders based on what our musician wanted. They had requested a metalheart themed design, so I created these scenes using Blender.
The next step was establishing a main type design for the song title, kinetic flux. I ended up with these 3 variations of type, ultimately choosing the first one as our main logotype.
The final steps of the design component of this project was creating the main background, banner, and cover art using all of the assets created above, resulting in the above compositions.
Overall, our team placed 15th out of 42 entries, ranking in 13th place for graphics category, 12th in the music category, and 17th in the mapping category.
