Concept
Aya Ito is a local and international musician. She reached out to me for an stylistic rendering of herself for her new single “Machine”.
The client wanted an album cover that meshes mechanical design and portraiture in an illustrative style.
I inquired about the client’s needs and expectations and began the iteration process.
Design Process
“In this track I want to become a machine. A robot who has a human heart.”
After creating the line work for the illustration, I began to digitally paint using bright blue and pinks. I wanted the accentuate the face of the illustration and intertwine mechanical sci-fi elements into drawing.
When the drawing was finalized I began to think about a color palette that would that would resonate with listeners on digital platforms and physical media. I wanted a striking color palette that would grab attention of people browsing the app.
