New Design, Wesley Dysart – Bside Myself

This design was a lot of fun! I took a rough sketch, created by Wesley Dysart himself, and reinterpreted the concept. 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 best of all, so is Wes! Oh, and the music is great too! Give it a listen here.
