Here's my first proposal for the #blockmountainart Album Cover competition. For those who don't know; BLOCK MOUNTAIN is a collaborative music initiative between DJ Lethal Skillz and Scuzzy Ruckus that aims to engage, strengthen, and invigorate Steemit artists and musicians. They're creating an album and drawing from the many collaborative skillsets on Steemit throughout its production. These guys are incredibly talented artists and community builders themselves. I encourage everyone to participate and definitely follow @blockmountain as the collaborative music initiative develops. Big thanks to co-founders @scuzzy and @djlethalskillz!
For the Album Art competition, here are the rules:
Step 1: Create a new post, include “Block Mountain Cover Submission” in the title of your post and use the first tag ‘#blockmountainart’.
Step 2: Must be original content. For example, if you're doing photo manipulation, the photos must be yours.
Note: Feel free to submit multiple submissions. Provided that your artwork qualifies, only one artwork per candidate will be chosen.
Image size: 3000 x 3000 px.
Resolution: Ideally 300 dpi; 72 dpi is the minimum accepted.
Image Format: PNG.
Here is my proposal that takes on a grid-like pattern (using the original logo / BM mountainous geometry). I toyed around with the color scheme and textures. Ultimately, I landed on a kind of repeated grid that rotated around a couple times. The logo shape flipped upside-down reminds me of an abstracted chain-link. The grainy textures were inspired by geological themes mentioned in their introductory post. The final Album cover is at the bottom...
