Assignment #11: Vaporwave!

Hi everyone!

It’s official: I’m in love with Vaporwave art <3

I love everything from the retro aesthetic to the vibrant, neon colors. Here’s two versions of a Vaporwave artwork I made with the character L from Death Note.

If you’ve watched the show, you know that apples and potato chips are significant to the plot, and it wasn’t until I finished both of the versions that I realized how much it reminded me of the second opening theme.

I had so much fun recoloring the chips and adjusting the sizes and orientations of the apples. The kanji over L’s eyes in the second version translates to “genius” in Japanese, and the chips I chose are a very popular brand that I personally enjoy eating. If you haven’t tried seaweed-flavored Calbee potato chips, now is the time! 😀

VaporWave Thoughts

Today we were introduced to vapor waves!

Vapor waves has pinkish, purple vibrant colors that gives out very calm vibes.  It is a genre of electronic music and futuristic colors arraying all together. I personally love it because it makes a normal photo pop out 10x times.

I will review this vapor wave from a journalist perspective and just admire the vibrant colors that tells a story.

Vapor waves reminds me of a old retro style video game with futuristic coloring.

Vapor waves will definitely be the future and it is trendy and I hope people check out the textures it has along with it. You can’t look away from it without thinking man I wish I can live in a vapor wave world.
