For this assignment, I was tasked with selecting an album of my choice, remake the cover in the style of one of the selected artists, and create a t-shirt for merch to go along with the album. I chose 'Cherry Bomb' by Tyler the Creator, and I chose to recreate the cover in the style of Peter Blake. The photo collage, Hand-drawn title, and bright colors of the cartoon design evoke the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club cover.

(Original Album Cover)
Album: Cherry Bomb
Artist: Tyler The Creator
Images I combined in Photoshop to create the foreground, cityscape, skyline, and nuke.
The Sunflower field and bumblebee art is from Tyler's next album, Flower Boy, that released 2 years later in 2017.
The nuke is from a real nuclear test.
The skyline is downtown Los Angeles from the POV of the Griffith Observatory.
