A quick cover I did for my Alastor Playlist!

"Untitled Album/Song Cover Art #2"

Digital album/playlist cover made in GIMP with a stock image as well as various stock images converted into textures from pexels.com.

Most of the sources listed are pics from pexels.com that I turned into textures. They made creating this piece a lot of fun. This was mainly just me trying out stuff and then building onto the result of that experimentation, so this was a great piece to make purely for learning purposes.

"Head In the Clouds" (album/playlist cover + 2 variations)

(sources: x / x / x )

Digital collage made in GIMP with stock images from pexels and unsplash. My first attempt to make grunge-poster-style art.

It took me *far* too long figuring out how to correctly modify/use the noise filter plus a few other settings to get the 'grunge poster' type artstyle I had seen and admired online. Once I figured it out, I did a very quick test and also tested out 2 variations, which you can see here.

Not 100% the look I am going for, I want to do black-and-white artwork with colored/colorful highlights in the future, but for a first test this is pretty nice imo. Reminds me a bit about the soft grunge days on tumblr tbh.

Can't wait to properly get into grunge and maybe even xerox style art - I would really love to design posters for example.

"Silent Treatment" (Album/Playlist Cover)

Album cover/playlist cover made in GIMP with a stock image from pexels.com.

I actually set out to create a pseudo-heatmap type effect but got sidetracked - oops! I really like the 90s/00s neon aesthetic of this piece and just went with it. It turned out pretty well.

Fun fact, I did this in only a few steps/with a few layers, the same of which I have used in other art I posted. It's a super simple process in theory but a bit fiddly in the execution - lots of fine tuning. But the results are really, really neat so far.

"Lorem Ipsum"

Album/playlist cover made in GIMP with stock images from unsplash.

I actually almost finished this one a few days before preparing this post already, but never could quite figure out what to do with the text. I got the idea to just add plain white text and go a bit of an 'anti-design' route lol. I originally wanted to try out making some grunge-style art and really liked the colors in this one.

Nothing fancy, but I still like this one and wanted to share it.
