I did a lot of work in Illustrator for Matt’s NMD 104 class but this was one piece that I particularly enjoyed. The task was to create a CD cover for a particular band. I chose the Gorillaz and although they don’t behave or appear anamalistic, their musical genre could be thought of as having similar qualities. It was for this reason that I chose to incorporate the mean-looking face of a primate on the cover. By using a horor-themed font and blood-red coloring I hoped to accentuate the fear one might feel when confronted by such an animal in the daylight or otherwise. The stark contrast of the face and the inky background give the CD cover even more of a shaky feel and drive to promote the band as tough and serious about their work.
