This tutorial is inspired by the surreal, conceptual album covers of artist Storm Thorgerson, who crafted dozens of iconic sleeves for some of the world’s biggest bands. Like Thorgenson’s trademark surreal landscapes, we’ll make an otherworldly scene filled with unexplained objects. Our red orbs here are made using simple compositing tools and tonal tricks in Affinity Photo.
