EP Cover 
This EP was to be released with four songs, which are represented by the four symbols. Each one has something about the song in them and hidden details from lyrics between intricate mandala inspired designs.
Single - "La Casita" by Lheo (The Little House) 
clubs ♣

This song talks about a romantic relationship, and when you get to spend alone time with a partner.
There's various points I considered nice and romantic which fit the mood for this illustration.
The song about messing around in the shower, which is represented at the bottom center of the club by a shower head and water drops. 
There's also in the top center a house hidden with a heart shaped door.
The song also mentions how time goes by fast and it never seems to be enough, so I added a small clock to represent the importance of time.


Single - "Ojos Miel" by Lheo (Honey Eyes)
diamonds ♦

This is a heartbreak song about a girl who has the prettiest eyes and how it can be misguiding since she was not particularly nice.

I decided to represent the two sides that are descrived of this girl by dividing in half, both pretty eyes however one side has a broken heart. The left side represents everything the guy fell in love with at first glance, and the right is what he discovered with time.
The song has a lyric I thought represented the message pretty well which is "Quien diria que el veneno y espinas son armas favoritas de una flor" (Who would've said that poison and thorns are the favorite weapons of a flower".

The client wanted the eyes to be the main focus, however they were pretty pleased with the flower with thornes as another mayor symbol for the song.



Single - Al Remordimiento Le Decimos Que No (We say no to regret)
spades ♠

In this song the singer talks about a girl who is in a new relationship however he believes she still loves him. He tells her it doesn't hurt him seeing her with someone else since he knows even though publicly she's with someone else she still wants him. It talks about how she temps him constantly and client asked to represent this with a lip bite. Added a few other elements mentioned in the song like a camara for mentioned pictures, a cocktail glass to represent drinks and a few "Zzz"s to represent dreams.
