Moodgadget: Burgundy Peak

The following design was one of my first projects for Moodgadget, a Brooklyn-based electronic record label.  A more detailed account of the design and the dream that inspired it can be found on my blog.  The following is an exerpt of that account:

"A burgundy snow-capped mountain sat on the horizon behind a fading blue sunset, and below it, a lake with reflections of purple.  We sat on a dock made of green bamboo that bent and swayed, dipping our toes in the water as we laughed over shared fond memories.  I woke up and instantly knew that this was the idea I had been looking for."

Below are three of the four deliverables that came from the design, I plan to revisit the idea in hopes of doing justice to the landscape I actually witnessed in my dream sometime in the near future, perhaps to take form as an independently-released limited run print.
