driveway modern
These are covers for CD collections of NPR’s Driveway Moments series. I was just drooling over Cartoon Modern at the bookstore (dude… no, really, dude…) so I’ve been looking around for stuff with that feel.
The most frustrating thing is that I don’t even understand it. I mean, I might have something like that in mind, but by the time I’m done, it’s all overworked and weird and there’s gradients and 3D models thrown in there and I’m not even sure what the hell I was thinking when I started. Which is kind of the same way I make music, but for some reason, that process is fun, rather than a slog. I think I maybe just hate Photoshop. Even though they were nice enough to go and throw a 3D engine into CS3 for me, so that I could delete Manga Studio and pretend I never heard of t.
Anyway, now I have to go and root around for some old Hollywood posters, from back when designers were allowed to design, as opposed to whatever the fuck it is they do now.*
