A 3D mockup of vinyl album artwork inspired by the Psyche mission. The word "Psyche" hovers in star-filled space over a sphere made out of pink, yellow, purple, and orange layers on the vinyl cover. In the middle of the sphere, there is a silhouette of the Psyche spacecraft also filled with stars. On the vinyl record is a purple, yellow, orange, and pink asteroid.

About the work: The Psyche spacecraft will soon enough give us better insight into the composition of the Psyche asteroid. In my concept artwork for an album inspired by Psyche’s unique qualities, the silhouette of the spacecraft acts as a window into space, mirroring how the mission will allow us to learn more about the possibly metallic asteroid. The sphere of colored layers behind the spacecraft represents how going to Psyche may reveal information on how the earth’s core was formed billions of years ago. Along with the album artwork, I created a Spotify playlist of songs relating to the Psyche mission and everything space.
