Belt Out of the Box

Description


This is my vector-based output for the Sony TRiK contest.

I thought of doing a template using means I am relatively familiar with. Boy, was I full of confidence or what. Um, I won't say I'm unhappy with my design. I am happy, but not too happy-jumping-on-the-couch-like-Tom-Cruise type of happy. Thing is, I just rushed this design today hehe. That and reaching a dead end with the background (spent too much time on the line art). :p

The concept
Well, since the contest stated to make a skin which represents musical genre of choice, I kinda thought hard of which genre to go with. So instead of all this label thing with the genres, I just settled with doing something very near to my heart. I chose to work around a photo of my good friend Vinz. He's the vocalist of a local band here named Embercore. My reason is simple: they are very dear to me. I watched them grow from a simple hodgepodge of different members with their side project to being serious musicians. I also gave them their name, so I really feel connected to them. :)

Belt Out of the Box is a play on the popular phrase think outside the box. Like my refusal to name just one genre, I think it's time to stop being too stereotypical, especially with music. Furthermore, it also goes like this: Belt Out of the Box, Step Out of Black and White which implies the contrast of colors and well, plain contrast.

There. All done. For everyone else, I'd like some constructive criticism on this. I need help. With designing and curves! YAY!
