Whenever I listened to this song, even before I had this brief in mind, the lyrics 'mango, peaches and limes' always stood out for me and I honestly don't have a great reason for this. But I knew I wanted to have this in my image, but not so blatantly obvious with them like in the middle of the page. So to avoid this, I drew lots of obvious outcomes first to get them out of my system, which made me realise that this approach is actually quite successful. This is something that Christoph Niemann said that he does when I watched the episode about him in the Netflix series 'Abstract' (which I highly recommend). It has made me realise that the best way to generate ideas is just to draw, even if it doesn't feel relevant, as well as just writing words.
To give the album cover more context, I wanted to include some imagery about wealth, seeing as the song is about living in the high life. Although I was a bit unsure of how to approach this because I thought that it might end up a bit predictable, and it also needed to work with my mango, peaches and limes...
