I illustrated this
christian rock cd cover design working closely with the musician, there was a lot of back and forth regarding the
cd cover design to make sure it reflected his idea of what it should look like. Eventually the client was very happy with the finished product, I've recently started working on his second album titled "view from hear". The cover also contains a conceptual design.
Christian rock cd cover design is a very versatile subject matter, styles can very from a very conservative and reserved design to a very dark, gloomy, and gritty cd design. The cover
image illustrates
Jesus Christ post crucifixion, he's dropped the crown of thorns, and three nails with which he was pierced with, and he's walking away from them, walking towards a sun rise that conveys the idea of a new day- that Jesus had changed everything from that point on.

I designed the graphics for this Spanish Rock cd cover art a few weeks ago. This heavy metal band from Spain hired me to create the art for their newest album release titled "Teoria De Cuerdas" which in english means "String Theory".
They had a specific idea for the art direction of their cd art, they just didn't now how to visualize it- so they gave me a collection of band photos and adjectives that described what they wanted in the art and then I went to the drawing board.
I came up with the concept of blending their individual band photos with intricate fractal designs- and it worked out great because it incorporated the "string theory" concept- visible in all the fractal threads and strings. The cd package included a 12 page booklet, I created individual fractal/photo designs for each band member and added their name and instrument. The art panels were placed adjacent to song lyric panels.
They're currently on tour in Spain promoting this album and they've been receiving a lot of praise and positive response to the cd design as well as their music.
