In this small exercise, we were tasked to redesign the cover art of any existing podcast and create two episode covers for the same podcast. I chose to work with Ear Biscuits with Rhett and Link.
All illustrations focus on incorporating small imperfections into the image to reflect the hand-made quality of props used on the set. The colours chosen are inspired by reoccurring thumbnail palettes used in the early episodes. I have also included a combination of traditionally drawn images and digital renders to emphasize the "DIY" aesthetic of the set.
