I wanted to challenge myself to redesign a song cover from a collaboration between Stray Kids and Charlie Puth to capture the message and aesthetics of the song. In the original design, I felt that the elements weren't necessarily cohesive and didn't match the genre of the song. However, the pixelated waves in the original cover caught my eye, and I wanted to incorporate that into my redesign. In the music video, there are motifs of water and pearl accessories the members are wearing, so I added a shining effect to the pixel water. Along with the pixel waves, I selected a pixel font to match. Overall, I wanted to capture the R&B genre of the music through a pixelated aesthetic.
