Re-Designed Album Cover

Here is a redesign of “Centralia,” an album from one of my favorite bands, Car Bomb.

My thought process for this design was to include the elements present in later albums from the band, while maintaining the broken, scratched up aesthetic of the old album design. I decided this because of how edgy and dark their first album is compared to their newest releases, but there are still elements that they have carried over.

As you can see, the band started to use geometric designs in their latest releases, which corresponds well to the less-edgy, more philosophical lyrics of the songs.

This kind of duality between chaos and geometric cohesion is most eloquently illustrated in their music videos; or if you just pay attention very closely to the music.

Corrected Image

Using the content aware healing tool, I repaired this old, damaged image of this little girl.

Here, you can see that the large white streaks going across the image are now gone and the image, while still old-looking, is repaired.

Photoshop Images

Here are some images created with the following ideas: scale, “time machine”, and hyper realism.

The “scale” of this image is the small elephant as opposed to the large saxophone, which is at least twice as big as it.

The “time machine” aspect of this image is the hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg masked into the right side of the image, which is set in the roaring 20’s.

The “hyper realism” of this image is the obvious physical impossibility of a duck having large muscles.
