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.

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

This design was for a hip hop cd release where the artist wanted a movie like design per his narrative music. I designed a text box shaped like a bullet to enclose the “Volume One” text. And chose a script font on the lower half to convey the feeling of authenticity and “personal story”. The city scape conveys the setting of the stories- where they take place and where he’s coming from. Fernando Medina.

Above is a cd cover design I composed using various photo’s and design elements. The idea is to convey a “matrix” like feel to the illustrated environment. The left side is a corporate skyscraper and to the right a decrepit ghetto alley.

Above are some photographs I utilized to compose this design.

Hello all, above is the revised illustration of the cd album cover I’ve been working on. I switched over to a more sketch-like style and a fashionista look for the characters.
