Networked Media

Networked Media by Damian Smith Pfister | Cover by M80 Branding - Large

For this cover, we created custom art that looked like a computer screen complete with monitor texture, light gradient, and background imagery of a blog post. There is a lot of stock imagery for this type of thing, but it often doesn't look right. To get something original, we studied our own screens and photographed them. This gave us a lot of great screen noise, which enabled us to create a more authentic looking representation of a blog close-up. While the type is simple, it's the overall feel of the background image that radiates energy.
