Annoyed of the loss of my At last design, I thought I should create the Tame Impala artwork to put my mind off it.
This kind of happened by accident. I noticed that if I put watered down white gouache on paper, then dotted watered down coloured (in this case pink) gouache, it creates a really cool affect. It produces shapes and a fluidity that you couldn't possibly produce by your own accord, it's totally unique. So I then scanned it into my laptop and played around with it on photoshop.
I overlapped the two patterns over each other, then played the with colours. I think this looks quite cool, I like how each individual section is completely different. I also think it's quite obvious which song it relates so, because it looks psychedelic and floaty. But something isn't quite right about it..
Good mistake no.2 - just before I was going to submit, I thought I'd quickly have a play with the colours to see if it would improve my design and I am very glad I did! I think these colours pop out a lot more and personally I think are more pleasing to look at. I then showed my brother who is a big fan of Tame Impala and asked if this says Tame Impala to him and he strongly agreed which is reassuring. I think getting a second opinion of your work is very important, as you can miss out things that you hadn't even considered.
