When my friends "Just Us" asked me to put together the cover for their new  EP I was pumped. Not only are they my good friends, but they make awesome music that sticks in your head for days. 

I started by pulling images from their Instagrams. They have strong personal aesthetics - I mosaiced their pics in Photoshop and that gave me a good starting point for colors which I saturated a bit. 

The guys knew what style they were going for, they definitely wanted something that felt illustrated and that used color. I went through a few sketches and ended up going with a cover that combined some graphic-designey elements and a  hand drawn feel. We were all really happy with the final image. 

Shout out to Kyle T Websters Photoshop brushes. I used his Gouache brushes, I love the way they can give a textured, crisp edge and a soft feel. 

Check out the final images below and grab the EP on their Souncloud.
