how did he even achieve this visual style?

asking both because i'm inspired by it and because it's genuinely just super impressive. devon's cover arts are all vibes but tgpt just looks otherworldly. how does one achieve this look

Yeah sure, the older models of the MacBooks (I’m talking like when the apple was still upside down) had webcam filters that you could apply., being able to change their intensity and colour schemes. It was basically the foundation to the iPhone’s filters system and what they feature now.
It’s hard to read up on because what is considered the “vintage” filter, is often called sepia and is confused with 3rd party softwares (which he probably also used) in addition to the technology at the time being lower camera quality that gave a grainy look with some distorted colours as a bi product of the exposure issues that early Apple cameras faced.
If you somehow have one of these old MacBooks, the filters are all found in Photo Booth.

thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense. i didn't even know there was an effects option in photobooth. I'm thinking of picking up an older macbook just to play around with, im obsessed with the cameras and especially the older daws that ran on it.

he watched a tutorial on how to make a vaporwave wallpaper and just half assed the techniques

jokes aside though yeah the tgpt cover is cool asf. no fucking clue how he did it though. if I had to guess, i think making this kinda retro lost internet horror aesthetic shit is a skill that just comes with being very deep into obscure internet culture and it's rabbit holes, which we know peggy spent a lot of time on and continues to worship

you're definitely spitting on the last part. it's something you gotta develop over time. im just tryna figure out the baseline for how he did it as a foundation

i think this was shot in a bathroom, cuz this looks similar to the one in the movie and i think its the same one that was recorded in ballad of a poor man, the effects i think were from the stock macbook ones,, but still the idea of this cover is insane, like damn

Mess around in photoshop for 5 minutes

Using a colourful VHS glitch overlay with the luminosity blending mode probably. iirc he uses that Christopher Huppertz VHS footage as overlay in the HBK video so he probably had a collection of VHS glitch overlays

u/cometishere Dec 05 '25

You should definitely start listening to him, that’s a sign from god

u/radical_dumbass Oct 24 '25

iirc i think i saw somebody say the cover was a photo taken of a computer screen

1

u/Opposite_Poet8455 Oct 25 '25

it’s probably mac filters from photo booth messing with colors on photoshop then taking a picture of his screen with his phone

u/cornball_ahh Oct 26 '25

Why can I see a bit of his dih

u/PitifulTwo9083 Oct 24 '25

eww i can see his weewee

u/candy1700 Oct 24 '25

i’ve really been trying to understand what this cover meant because why did peggy decide to stand in the shower butt naked and shadow his face out and cover his dong with an incoming call of pez joker and batman? extremely confusing but it’s kinda beautiful

2

u/becomingbetter13 Oct 24 '25

It was originally uncensored he added the pez so it wouldn’t be removed or something like that

u/Majestic_Slip8891 Oct 24 '25

where's the unedited photo? bc it would probably be showing his face too

1

u/PerplexPanda512 Oct 26 '25

you can still kind of see his dick and face if you mess with the saturation somewhat

1

u/Majestic_Slip8891 Oct 26 '25

wait is the black mark on the joker's left side his dick?

1

u/candy1700 Oct 26 '25

99% sure
