I feel that this is probably my strongest design for the music based designs I've been exploring for this brief. My visual inspiration for this was the music video for the song, which focuses solely on the intricate spin of a ferris wheel. I wanted to get across the intricacy of the wheel without just drawing one, so I took a perspective of the viewer on the ride itself, up close with the different cables and bars. Because it is quite an involved design, I wanted to stay simple with the colours, so as not to overcomplicate the composition. I think the complicated intersecting rectangles and the simple flat colours work well to balance the composition as a whole.
The song itself is about uncertainty and loneliness, and I wanted to convey that with large areas of black negative space to communicate a character that is very much on their own, and I think the opposing intersecting lines that make up the wheel work well to parallel the uncertainty and apparent randomness that the speaker in the song is feeling.
