New Design: Cinco De Mayo – Five Spot

New Design: Cinco De Mayo – Five Spot
Here’s one I did for The Good Foot Promotions. Originally I wanted to have the band names inside the mouth of the skull but after days of trying to get that idea to work I moved it over to the side.

These are modern bands and I wanted the design element to reflect...

Speaking with Wesley about the meaning of Bside Myself, I learned that it was not only a play on words, the B-Side of a single vs. the word “beside,” but also had was a reference to an outer body experience. I thought the original rowing man head had an iconic look, so I traced it in Illustrator and applied lighting effects in Photoshop. The background shapes were also created in Illustrator and processed further in Photoshop. I’m really pleased with the result and...
