Hi there! My name is Rivka Ben-Avides, located in Torrance, California just outside of the huge entertainment scene that Los Angeles houses. My goal as a designer is to enhance the visual element of music; to bring to life and compose visually pleasing aesthetics for your favorite bands, artists, and songs.
Producing graphics and work under the artist name/alias “violet!sounds” originates from my love for two bands, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Waterparks; Violet! is an all time favorite song from Waterparks, while the lyrics “I’m living in the violet sounds” comes from the song Bloodhound by 5 Seconds of Summer. I ultimately chose to create under a combination of two songs I love.

The second mock-up was based on a funeral inviation with frontman Awsten Knight showcased in the center.
