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. She brought it to me because she 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

This band uses two sets of lead singers, but they didn't want to take a separate publicity photo. They sent me the BEFORE picture, and 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.

The same band recently had an excellent photo taken; unfortunately it was shot in the recording studio, so the gray background was not professional or exciting enough to be used as a promo shot. I added a colorful cityscape that ties in with the name of the band (CITY LIGHTS), and the band now features the altered picture in their promo package.

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.
