When I started to learn Illustrator, this was my first official project. I experimented with using Gaussian blur in the background. I chose to depict the song "Tu" by Maye, which has a calming effect and makes me feel like I'm floating on water. I conveyed this soothing feeling through the use of color and the peaceful expression on the girl's face. The typography in the cover was also chosen with the thought of what the song conveys.

I recommend checking out her song:
