Close To Me Song Cover

My friend David, a DJ who goes by the name DAV5, reached out to me to design the cover for his latest track, a collaboration with Cession and Nick James. He had a clear vision for the artwork, requesting a blend of water, palm trees, and a statue figure to reflect the vibe of the song.

Using Photoshop, I carefully combined these elements, starting with a serene body of water that set the tone for the design. I then introduced the palm trees, strategically placing them to frame the scene and create a sense of depth and balance. To add an air of mystery and intrigue, I incorporated the statue figure as a focal point, ensuring it tied together the tropical and surreal atmosphere David envisioned.

I paid close attention to color and lighting, adjusting shadows and highlights to make the elements feel cohesive and harmonious. I also used blending techniques to seamlessly integrate the different components, giving the cover a polished, professional finish. The result was a striking and atmospheric design that not only captured the essence of the track but also told a visual story, setting the tone for listeners even before they hit play.

This cover art was a great opportunity to experiment with composition and visual narrative, creating a captivating image that perfectly matched the mood of DAV5’s collaboration with Cession and Nick James.
