AWOL Heavy Metal Rock CD Cover Design- Aurora, IL chicago

Heavy metal rock cd cover design. The concept of this was to create a semi morbid, mysteries, and gritty cover design. I started off by just showing the hands coming out of the fan blade but then later added the peering eye in the background. This cd cover went through quite a bit of changes, there was another cd cover design with a different style initially- but I worked closely with the art director to come up with this final design. This is a Canadian heavy metal rock band, I also did the rest of the package design, however I'll post those up later. CD Design is a fickle art, sometime a design will be a homerun and other times I think I have a great design and the client just doesn't like- it's a subjective thing this art.

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
