Retro Sunset

Sunset84

This one was a little tougher than the last design. Needed more than one round to get it right. First day I created the general shape, layout, and a rough idea for colors. However, it just wasn’t interesting enough to place on even my own desktop. So I got feedback from a friend and put it away for a day or so.

I was pretty sure it needed more colors and it generally felt a little flat. So I pushed blues into the sky, which brought out hot pink and purple. I calmed the blues down in the landscape and painstakingly added some depth to the mountain range. Scanlines in the sky were on a whim, as was the accidental discovery of a denser looking sun disc.

What I love about the result is the wide range of colors, the depth of sun and mountains, the simple use of scanlines and heat distortion… Let’s just say I love all of it. lol

So here you go, I’m happy to share it. Enjoy your own copy.

Thanks for visiting! And check out my neon music while you’re here.

What would you like to see in the next design?
