The Green Leefs cd package design: Illustration and Logo design- redemption cover art

 This is the final package design I created for the excellent hip hop reggae band - The Green Leefs. I created illustrations for both the cd cover and cd traycard back. I also created the brand identity for the band with an iconic logo graphic that incorporates a grunge texture and green leef plant. This was a fun art project to work on, the client gave me creative freedom to develop the illustrations and I was inspired by the music when creating the cd graphics. The music style is a hybrid of hip hop and reggae with a very natural and melodic feel, so I used natural textures and organic elements in the design.

Indonesian Indie pop/punk band: cd cover design

The name of this band is Lunno which means beauty. This band from Indonesia wanted a cd cover with a photo of the band combined with a steam punk styled design. I gave it a vintage look by overlaying aged textures and a yellow tint, however I kept the yellow tint bright and saturated in order to maintain a level of modernity. I superimposed several gears in the background and on the borders I overlaid blueprint drawings of a locomotive steam engine. The collection of design elements came together well to create this organized mess and most importantly the band was happy with the final design.

South America Latin Pop Rock cd design

I created this cd cover design for a young latin pop rock band- located in South America. I had fun designing this one because they gave me a collection of adjectives describing their music/style and it was easy to bounce ideas of those descriptions. I used a combination of adobe photoshop and adobe InDeign CS3 to compose this piece.

Musica Cristiana- cd diseño grafico de portada

This is a cd cover design for an amazingly talented Christian band based out of Chicago, IL. I created this cd cover design after discussing the concept with the art director (band member). He had a very specific idea in his mind and just needed me to bring it to life- fortunately we achieved the perfect design within the first round of design proofs. The client really wanted the city of Chicago represented in the background and so I designed a fitting cityscape with some dramatic clouds and scattering pigeons. The client also supplied me with a photo of neon signage for me to reference when designing his cd cover.
