Coffee Octopus Podcast – Cover Concept

Project Information

A friend of mine asked me to create a podcast cover concept. The podcast was supposed to be a stream-of-consciousness type of talkpod, fuelled by coffee and observations concocted by caffeinated minds. An octopus somehow became associated with the idea of an unstructured podcast. I combined an old drawing of this noble animal (available under a public domain license) with a simple coffee cup. The idea was to emulate a cup of steaming coffee from afar – only when you zoom in on the image would you see that, actually, there is a coffee-coloured octopus lounging in the mug.
