this is the original album cover ^^^

#

After doing some background research on the pattern that's on the cover, I believe that Bayer dithering (type of image dithering like on old newspapers) was applied to the cover along with the font for the album.

#

Below me is a sample image using Bayer dithering

I took the high quality cover from HOME's facebook page and i ran it through TinEye (because other image recognition were just able to identify the pixelated on and i was 100% sure that HOME added the dithering), and what do i find?

#

BOOM

im still trying to find its creatr

#

At first, the images looked AI generated because i'd only just seen the dithered version on HOME's side. I ran through a fair deal of difficulty to scavenge the original image due to many websites having either been taken down, having their domains sold, or the posts on the website that matched being deleted outright. Although randy is a huge tumblr fan and i am also sure he found the image out of tumblr for the cover, all posts that matched it on the platform were deleted
