CD cover: Andy

A musician named Andy requested something very specific for the cover of his album "Old Food, Old Drinks, and Andy": three vending machines side-by-side with "Cold Food", "Cold Drinks", and "Candy" on them, the "C"s having fallen off long ago to create the title. Oh, and the "Andy" machine had to be filled with copies of the cover that I would be designing. Yikes!

I found some pictures of vending machines and a rough wood backdrop...



...and used Photoshop to assemble them all together, angle the machines to be a group, add shadows, colorize things, clean the rust off of the old machines, and add the labels. Then I saved an image of the whole scene, made a bunch of copies of it, and stuck it in the "Andy" machine. The end result looks pretty cool.
