ALBUM DESIGN
With several years of experience working within the music industry, I have designed a large number of album covers and artwork, both as mock-ups and physical albums. Ranging from digital distribution to vinyl, cd, cassette, and Flexi disc, I have an expansive knowledge of not only digital design, but also physical print layouts, printing properties, and pre-press requirements.

Created in 2021, below are the print files for the vinyl copy of singer/songwriter AViVA's second full-length studio album, Volume II. With core artwork being created within Blender, and further enhanced and edited in Photoshop, the files were laid out within InDesign using templates provided by our printing partner.
The original core artwork of the cityscape was created to purposefully translate well between multiple media and formats in both digital and print, including vinyl, CD, digital distribution, social media banners, social media-based advertising, apparel, posters, and other printed merchandise.

These design mock-ups were provided to New York Based Singer/songwriter Grace Blue after the completion of the design for one of her singles, 'Stop', for the consideration of potential physical media and merchandising.
Eleven Artwork Variants were provided for selective use in marketing/promotion and merchandising.

Stop
In April 2023 I was commissioned to design a non-commercial fallout-inspired CD for UK-Based artist Jack "Jafro" Farr.
I decided early on that the physical format would be closer to a vinyl record than a CD, due to the setting and timeframe of the franchise inspiring the track. I quickly built the concept around a 45RPM 7" single, citing designs from the 50s and 60s with a twist inspired by the fracnhises and breifs provided by the client.
