I have been looking at reggae album cover designs to inspire the background I am aiming to do, taking a particular interest in "Bob Marley and The Wailers". These use a circular "target" pattern in red, yellow and green which looks "trippy" to Rastafarians who frequently smoke cannabis. The aim of the album covers is to look hallucinogenic. The centre of the target is an image of Marley. I have tried to show my own interpretation of this in my sketchbook using white emulsion for texture, acrylic paint and a tape transfer of Bob Marley.
Next, I will experiment with portraiture and how I will show the positioning Rastafarian man I wish to include. I would like to show emphasis on the dreadlocks so would want them extended across the piece somehow. This is so as in my eyes, dreadlocks are the most iconic feature of a rastafarian.
