Also the rest of the songs had kind of flattened me out, I wasn't getting any inspiration out of any of them really. It had become a lot harder than I anticipated...
Instead of ignoring it, which isn't really an option seeing as the deadline is coming up on my fast, I decided that I should take one or two days to do the remaining album covers.
I did like dream 3. I like how it doesn't have any lyrics so the artwork is purely a visual interpretation of the atmosphere it creates. It made me feel peaceful, so the colours blue came to mind. I also wanted to show stillness and complete tranquility. Tranquility always reminds me of the moon, how quiet it must be up there, so I knew I wanted to somehow include this into my artwork. But it also reminded me of a calm sea with the stillness, so not sure if I could combine these two elements?
I then had a brainwave through doing roughs, of a man fishing in the calm sea for the moon.
I drew it out
Then vectorised it! I think working in vectors is quite good for this project, because it means that pixilation will not be a problem for submission!
I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out, because I think you can tell what song it relates to as it gives an aura of peace. Although I suppose you could argue that the moon is an obvious choice for this song so it isn't very inventive, but I don't think any other object would work as well.
