CD cover: The Poetry of Rumi Collection

I was given a blank canvas for this project, and when I found this grasshopper image, I knew it was perfect. The author agreed.

Album cover: Dean Riddle Jr, "Outsider"

For this song about bullied kids, Dean wanted a really evocative, poignant image.

DVD/CD box sets: '60s Pop Rock & Soul

This was a huge, huge project for TJL Productions/PBS. I designed a 7-DVD box set as well as a 6-CD set, plus the DVD menus and the on-air promo graphics. Each DVD/CD had its own cover design (the CDs had the same basic designs as the DVDs, so I didn't bother to repeat those here -- just imagine these DVDs square-shaped!). The DVD/CD sets come in their own custom-designed box, and the spines needed to spell out S-I-X-T-I-E-S when all put together.


Album cover: Phillip Matthews

Phillip wanted a patriotic cover for this song recorded to welcome our troops home.

Album cover: Baynes, "Occupy"

Baynes sent photos of himself and wanted me to place him inside a tent with a protest raging outside. He also asked me to add a leather satchel, a map and compass, a smoking rifle, a dove, and to alter his clothes to fit the tone of the song.

Album cover: Radical Limit

Radical Limit wanted an 80s-esque band logo to be featured on an abstract cover design.
