The aim of this concept project is to create some illustrations inspired in Pink Floyd singles (Mother, Time and Pigs) following a common style.

Research

The first step was doing a deep research about the music and design related to the band. Pink Floyd used many metaphors that were analyzed. All the illustrations share a common vintage style but also use a recurrent concept of animal metaphors. Different animals are mentioned in many songs in order to represent personalities and social classes.

What I learned

I improved my metodology when analizing a project before starting working on it. I learned to spend more time in the research phase. This project also inspired me when I had to design graphic material for my band Sulcus.
