IDER - body love - digital illustration

The idea behind this cover was to communicate the duality of a relationship. One viewpoint is romantic and organic, represented by the photograph of the rose. And the other viewpoint is colder and pragmatic, represented by the harsh shapes making up the silhouette of the rose. Making the flower angular was a way for me to tell the story about this colder view of a relationship, while still keeping the obvious connotations of a rose present in the overall design. This cover was also featured on the band’s Instagram account, which was great because I was able to look at the work in context, and have the people who actually made the music see my interpretation. On the flip side of that, as soon as it was posted I immediately thought of ways I could have made the design clearer or more expressive. I might work further on this design before really thinking it's finished.
