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

Here is a revised version of the angel statue. The client wasn’t convinced he wanted the model used on the first angel- he wanted something more “breastly”- so this is what I came up with- I’m pretty happy with it. I made this image using adobe photoshop, stacking layers upon layers of effects and filters.

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!
