"RAIN"


Another album cover. An experiment in subtle but bold font, and my attempt at making something fried without it becoming completely unreadable. I'm not sure how the palette was chosen - I think I was just flipping through gradient masks - but it's probably my second-favourite color pairing I've seen. Inspired by Rain World.

The source image was taken during my fiance and I's first real trip. We had gone to Salt Lake City for a weekend, just to do some sort of day-pass thing that let us go to a couple different attractions, like a butterfly conservatory and an aquarium. In the middle of our day, after we'd gotten back from seeing bugs and were standing on a cold train platform, it began to storm. A distant but loud, rolling storm like it usually does in the Great Basin and over the midwest. We had just missed the train, so we spent an hour just watching lightning spark over the hills while quiet rain spat upon the walkway. That was most certainly a fun trip.
