cd art

I'm a musician, so designing CD packages is my favorite type of project.

My services include the complete package:
Booklet, Trayback, CD Face, Text and Artist Logo


Here are some recent samples:

    redesign
Mary E. Holland, a San Francisco singer, had a friend design her first CD.
When she brought it to me, I felt it needed a more stylish presentation.
I colorized the photo from the old cover and placed it in a more dynamic setting.

photo correction
I specialize in photo correction that doesn't call attention to itself.

My friend Loralee says, "I love my mother, but I wasn't crazy about seeing her arm in this picture." So I amputated the offending arm, and tidied up the room a bit.
Loralee said "Thanks for vacuuming!"

This band uses two sets of lead singers, but they didn't want to have to take a new publicity photo. So they sent me the BEFORE picture, and SOME head shots of the two alternate members. I did some gentle skin-grafting, and came up with an AFTER picture they could use in their promo package..

NOTE: Don't try this at home!

promotional posters

The full-size art was printed on glossy photo paper for display, and a small .jpg was sent in emails to promote the events.
