Fight The Dice EP Cover

Brief 7
OUIL603
Designing a cover for a band is something that I have never done before so upon accepting this commission I knew that it would be a challenge and would be good for my design skills. The brief that I was given was heavily detailed and contained many pop culture references that I should include on the cover- these include references to Game of Thrones, Kanye West and Harry Potter. The brief was slow to get st started and was very time consuming for me however the payment was good so I laboured over the brief.

The brief stated that the band wanted the cover to be almost like 驶Wheres Wally始 so I worked to an isometric grid to help all the information sit well together in the frame. I also worked with a limited colour palette that suited the band yet also made sure that all of the infomation wasnt too crazy to look at.

Finished Illustration
This brief was very time consuming to end up with just 1 image as the product. However using photoshop to be able to draw out the figures and objects helped a lot as I could edit them easily, duplicate them and be able to move them wherever in the image because of the isometric perspecive. Overall I am happy with the way that the product has turned out. Though it more detailed than my usual work, I know that the product completely satisfied the brief. Unfortunately there was disputes in the band about the idea which led to them not going with it in the end. Thankfully I had wrote up a contract early on in the process which meant that they were obligated to pay the full amount. It was a bit disheartening that the work wasn始t produced in the end as it was tailored to that client and the copyright stays with them meaning it wont ever be shown anywhere. Despite this, in the process of this brief I have learnt a lot about composition, colour palette and working to the brief to fulfill it entirely.
