Country Music CD Cover Design- CD Album package graphic designer

Country music cd packaging art for artist name "Doug Muchmore". The nashville country music package design reflects the feel and sound of the music. I worked closely with the musician to achieve a design the reflected his goals for the design. We went through a few different cover designs before settling on this cover design- I then applied the cd cover design theme to rest of the packaging.

Hands Tied Christian Rock- CD cover design

This design is for a christian rock band- the concept is that the hands are tied but are also creating a shadow puppet of a bird spreading it's wings- conveying the album title "escape". The hands are meant to be Jesus' Christ hands. The aged textures and colors really solidify the setting of this design.

This blue beast cover illustration was a second cover design option that was not chosen- I had this image in my head when i read the album title was escape- although it looks there is little chance the running man will escape this over grown cookie monster. I created the illustration using adobe photoshop and my digital wacom tablet pen. Enjoy

Hip Hop CD Design- Ghetto Gangsta Rap CD cover design- Downbottom


This design was for a hip hop cd release where the artist wanted a movie like design per his narrative music. I designed a text box shaped like a bullet to enclose the "Volume One" text. And chose a script font on the lower half to convey the feeling of authenticity and "personal story". The city scape conveys the setting of the stories- where they take place and where he's coming from. Fernando Medina.

Virtual Reality Ghetto Rap CD Cover Design

Above is a cd cover design I composed using various photo's and design elements. The idea is to convey a "matrix" like feel to the illustrated environment. The left side is a corporate skyscraper and to the right a decrepit ghetto alley.

Above are some photographs I utilized to compose this design.
