OUGD503 Studio Brief 1 Secret 7 - Development
After initial ideas and from my research, I immediately knew I wanted a psychedelic style cover for this LP. I started by making textures using Youtube tutorials as I didn't know how to go about making a psychedelic pattern. I then went on to using a photograph from the internet and tracing the pattern of the lines and layering it up to create a really nice pattern full of colour. This really got the psychedelic affect that I was after. I tried and tested a few ideas to do with someone holding their fingers in their ears to connote 'The less I know the better' but these I found were unsuccessful. I then tired ideas with hearts to connote love, and made it distorted to represented his broken heart. I felt this worked well as amongst the psychedelic trance, lies a broken heart to represent the line 'so goodbye.'
After using the idea of the distorted heart, I wanted to continue this idea as I felt it was successful in representing the fragmented and collapsed love. For this, I used the app Glitché which allows you to corrupt and distort your images to create psychedelic works. Therefore I experimented on this app with hearts using numerous different effects such as glitch, scan, invert, vhs and grids. These gave me really great trippy outcomes which I then manipulated to get the desired effect. These allowed me to convey the two hearts as separate, one being in tact and the other distorted to represent one's love for another who can never love back and the damaged relationship as a result.
