David Heofs blends handcrafted tactility with music identity design

Madrid-based graphic designer David Heofs, founder of the creative studio Bandiz (established 2010), builds music identities using physical materials like Tipp-Ex, ink, pencils, wax crayons, felt tips, and collage. His work spans album artwork, posters, and artist identities for contemporary musicians, including Jorge Drexler's Taracá (2025, Sony Music), which features hand-painted lettering on wood referencing Candombe drums. Other projects include Morat – Si Ayer Fuera Hoy (Universal Music, 2022), Zoe Gotusso – Cursi (Sony Music, 2024), Depresión Sonora – Los Perros no Entienden Internet (Sonido Muchacho, 2025), and Dellafuente & Morad – ZIZOU (MAAS, 2023). Heofs' approach combines analogue texture with digital typography, creating imperfect, energetic compositions that contrast with digital execution. His influences include rare books, fanzines, DVDs, CDs, toys, and popular culture.
