Youtube background designs for the song 'this city' by sticks & stones

Adding the ice sheet on the sea allowed for text to be added 

without looking 'lost' within the image, it also allows for more 

perspective which draws the eye in from the title to the image.

To emphasise the sunken buildings a slight orange/peach aura 

was added, this wouldn't usually make a big difference, but the 

rest of the image is mono-tonal allowing for this. 

some of the earlier designs appeared too bold in colour and 

almost apocalyptic, this takes the eye away from the sinking city

and ruins the composition. it also doesnt represent the feel of the song.

These are designs for song 'this city', showing the progression

of the image. Ive sketched out a few designs before moving

into photoshop, ranging from different compositions and themes.

The chosen design is of the city sinking into the sea, but other ideas

were of a flip-side/reflection of a skyline destroyed.
