Professional Project Review


This work is the album cover to Tame Impala's latest album Currents, and is based on the scientific principle of vortex shedding, which is the particular way a liquid or gas moves around a solid object. It uses a purple and pink/yellow color scheme, reminiscent of the 70s & 80s eras of music. It represents a collision of classic 70s and classic 80s music in an electronic/synth fasion. One element I would take away from this album cover is the style of having a repeating pattern and creating something that interacts with that pattern in a way, which is an interesting design concept. One element of this that I have already learned is the smooth gradient applied to the neon stream. The creator did well with the overall execution of the streams, as it looks very natural. One thing I feel could have been done better was the shading on the silver ball/marble, because it does not look entirely correct shading wise. Overall, I thought it had a great design with a great execution.
