Open Call for Visual Collaboration

Open Call for Visual Collaboration

Design & Art Direction for Nühn Records

Nühn Records is currently seeking a design collaborator to help shape and evolve the visual identity of the label as it enters a new phase of growth. The intention is not to scale rapidly, but to deepen — visually, conceptually, and atmospherically.

This is not a commercial brand campaign. It is a long-term invitation to contribute meaningfully to a label that values nuance, abstraction, and artistic integrity.

Who We’re Looking For

We are interested in working with an independent designer, art director, or visual artist who resonates with the label’s ethos and sonic world.

The ideal collaborator:

  • Has a strong sense of visual storytelling and atmosphere

  • Is fluent in minimal, experimental, and poetic aesthetics

  • Can work autonomously, but with alignment and sensitivity

  • Is interested in crafting web, social, identity, cover art, and digital editorial materials

  • Thinks conceptually and designs intentionally

Previous experience in music, cultural or editorial fields is appreciated but not essential — we value clarity, emotional intelligence, and taste.

About Nühn

Nühn Records is an independent label devoted to contemplative, textural, and boundaryless sound.

Its releases explore sonic landscapes that resist genre and prioritise experience over format.
The label is driven by a desire to curate rather than compete, to craft spaces where sound and image can breathe.

Design is not meant to sell the label, but to extend its sensibility into the visual realm.

Collaboration Structure

  • Project-based to begin with (e.g. rethinking identity, launching campaigns, designing cover art)

  • Potential for long-term involvement and shared creative authorship

  • Flexible schedule, remote-friendly

  • Compensation to be discussed based on scope and mutual clarity — this is a transparent and values-based exchange

How to Apply

Please send an email to: hello@nuhn.net
Subject: Design Collaboration – Nühn

Include:

  • A short note about yourself and your design approach

  • A selection of visual work or portfolio (PDF or link)

  • Optional: a thought or feeling about what working with a label like this could mean to you

This is not a mass call.
We’re looking for thoughtful alignment over volume of responses.

Thank you for considering this.
