For cover #2 I carved a square image out of the official promo material (poster and wallpaper) for what felt like an eternity. Honestly, I had literally spent hours on that damn thing and wasn’t even pleased with the results, because the only area to place the logo was over that *stranger thing* in the background. It really bugged me to hide this key image so I made a second version (#3) with smaller labeling and some additional edits. The end result is a pair of allied artworks, similar in design, different in size. It’s yours to choose.
Working on the gallery below felt like a nostalgic journey through pop culture media. It was absolutely delighting to look for apropriate fan art and matching font types to be able to re-create those iconic album covers. For about two or three weeks I really was on cloud no. 9 and even though some covers didn’t turn out as good as I wanted them to be, I just couldn’t stop making more and more and more. And even more. Every other day I recalled another memorable film from my own childhood and kept adding film after film onto my imaginary to-do-list.
Please enjoy the results of my very own nostalgic trip down memory lane. Though I‘m not planning to rallye down the spoof covers route in the future. There are others out there who plough these fields way more effectively. But for this particular series I was really adamant to push it as far as I possibly could.
In case you’re not aware of it, I have also published a huge update to my Stranger Things: Season One collection. So if you’re in for even more tribute fun, please walk this way. Thanks!
Great! Looking forward to that!
Sure! I updated the blog post.
