    Make Your Mark by Sharpie is the inspiration for creating a forced connection between two concepts that we don’t normally see together. I wanted to express a new perspective between a “permanent” marker and tattoos! My call to action in this design is using Sharpies, “Make Your Mark” quote because conceptually, it applies to both markers and tattoos. I replaced the traditional tattoo gun machine with the Sharpie marker forcing the two ideas into one.

This is my first attempt at surreal design and visually combining two ideas was a fun way for me to think outside of the box. I want the design to bleed and pop out with the typography choice and imagery I chose. Using photoshop to create the cover, I want the imagery to step outside the limits of the borders and background to make a bigger impression and make it eye-catching.
