Ideation and Brainstorming


CONCEPT DESIGN...I DO NOT OWN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS OF RAVYN LENAE

blue island.....concept design 

I love TV and music if you couldn’t tell from my bio and the general theme of my projects. For this design, I wanted to combine both interests.

What would a show based on Ravyn Lenae’s Blue Island look like? If the show were to come out, what would the re-released album cover visual be?

This project was a great way for me to indulge my tv-obsessed brain as well as my music-obsessed one. A mix of daydreaming and designing was the objective of this exercise. 
Research findings:

What would the show look like?
What would be the tone?
What should audiences take away from the show?
What would a re-release of Ravyn Lenae’s Blue Island look like once the show is on streaming?
What would the color palette be?

Side Comments/Thoughts while Designing 





Side Comments
Truly, the hardest part was figuring out the background for the visuals. I knew that I wanted the visuals to look like Ravyn was sitting on a mini island, but the issue came with bending and then deciding what the island would be sitting/floating on. At first, I wanted to put her in the ocean, but I absolutely hated it.

Finally, after hours of messing around in Photoshop, I decided to build a blue room. I remembered reading in an article that some much of the inspiration for this album was based on her hometown in Blue Island,  Illinois. So with that thought in mind, I thought: Why not create a makeshift house for the background?




Thoughts While DesigningHow do I combine my fake show’s premise with the nature based imagery of the real album’s visuals?

How do I combine inside and outside within the visuals?

Should I add orange to this design or would that be too spot on?

Why isn’t this blurring the way that I want it to?

What would a darker verison of the album’s visuals look like?

Would anyone actual look at this design and want to but it?

I love designing tour merch

So much blue, my goodness
