My final design for this year's Secret 7" competition.

 

I decided to design for the song Karmacoma by Massive Attack.

 

Taking the song name literally, I based my design around the words 'karma' and 'coma'. The om symbol in the middle signifies the 'karma' and the mandala represents the 'coma', as mandalas are often seen as a hypnotic and relaxing image. I also thought that the song itself was relaxing and made me feel almost hypnotised.

The final drawing was scanned into Illustrator and then I used the pen tool to perfect and alter the slightest of things, to create the following mandala..

 

The colours used helped to create a hypnotic and relaxing effect.

 

Thank-you for looking!
