Your Album Cover

I found this neat Photoshop practice from the CMD+Shift Design blog.

Here’s the brief:
You’re making an album cover for a band. All the info you need is as follows:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random:
   The name of the band is the article you land on.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3:
   The name of the album is the last four or five words of the last quote on the page.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days:
   The picture you must use is the third picture on the page.

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

All the drawings were drawn without references which is just evidence of the hard work Kyle has done to nurture his talent! If you’re curious, have a look at his illustrations over at http://www.kyletwebster.com.

Weekend Inspiration: Stina Persson

Stina Persson is an illustrator from Stockholm, Sweden. She’s worked with big clients like Coca Cola, Target, and Godiva Chocalatier, just to name a few. Being a lover of watercolor my favorites can be found in the Watercolor section. I love her style! She uses negative spaces to her advantage allowing for colors to really pop.
