Weird Creative Constraints That Actually Improved My Art
I created custom album artwork for some of my favorite new music, but every single piece is dictated by a spin of the wheel. Each spin assigns a random creative constraint — scribble first, a two-minute time limit, use a photo, style swap, lyric-based design, or (thankfully) a skull. You get the idea. Some of these ended up way better than I expected. Some of them… did exactly what you’d expect when you give up free will to a colorful spinning circle. That’s kind of the point though. Dumb rules force you out of obvious solutions. You either find something new or crash into a wall. Both are useful. If you enjoy watching me stress out, overthink, and occasionally surprise myself — you’re in the right place. 👉 Which piece worked for you? 👉 Which rule should I add to the wheel next time to make my life worse? And if you missed the first version of this challenge, where I used the wheel on a different set of albums, go watch that one next. It pairs nicely with poor decision-making. • I Redesigned My Favorite 2025 Albums with ...
