Existing aesthetics As a trip hop act, Massive Attack have linked visual style close to their music. This is something that has been kept in mind.
Massive Attack’s aesthetic has been influenced by previous album artwork, such as Heligoland (above) inspired by Barney Bubbles’ original interpretation (below). Taking visual inspiration from other designers or imagery is an aspect that could be used. The music video for Karmacoma is a mixture of surreal and borrowed themes, such as ‘The Shining’ and ‘Snatch’.
