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.

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.

This is the cover art for a hip-hop compilation album. The client said they really wanted to accentuate the 2.0 so I dropped it on the cover like giant bricks- can’t get more prominent than that. I grunged up the letters a bit to give them a worn out look- like it’s been through the test of time and it’s still big and bold. I then added the shovel on the side to compliment the words “buried treasure”. I used a little bit of adobe illustrator and photoshop to complete this work. Enjoy.

The name of this album is “View from Hear”, there’s a play on words so I tried to do the same visually- the client and I went through various drafts before deciding on this design. The genre of music is Christian Rock, the goal was to not hit people over the head with Christian symbolism so I approached it with a neutral design first and then sprinkled subtle spirituality through out- Vuala. Below are a collection of stock photo’s I used to create this piece.Also below are other cover designs created for this project that didn’t make the cut. They were all created using photoshop. As you can see they all use a similar color palette which was specified by the client- I think that they’re all very nice but of course I have a bias. Greatness!

This illustration commemorates Denzel Washington’s Oscar Win for the movie “Training Day”. Chicago area illustrator graphic designer Fernando Medina, designed and illustrated this caricature of the famous Hollywood actor using pen and ink, color pencil, and photoshop. This is one of Denzel Washington’s most Impressive zcting performances in my opinion. I did the drawing in pen, and added textures via Adobe Photoshop.
