Working with psychedelic color and pattern

Working with psychedelic color and pattern

Psychedelic graphics can combine repeating shapes, surreal imagery, and contrasting colors. The composition still needs a clear focal point and readable information if it is used on packaging.

  • Use detailed pattern in selected areas instead of behind every line of text.
  • Check the effect at the final print size.
  • Build a consistent palette and recurring motifs so the artwork can extend across formats.
