CD covers: Laura Simms

Two CD covers for audiobooks of storyteller Laura Simms' stories. The first is for grownups, the second is for kids.

CD cover/package: MT

MT asked for something that would convey music, the city, and hopefulness. I put together a bunch of elements for the cover art, then did a full CD package and expanded the idea to be a landscape -- rural towns on the left, the big city on the right, and music going between them.

CD cover: Wayne Ammons

Wayne wanted an album cover in the same vein as classic covers by The Eagles; it was lots of fun compositing together various elements to get the right feel.

CD cover: E.D.Y.

EDY wanted an image to convey a night out clubbing in Paris.

CD cover: Chris Todisco

Chris Todisco wanted a fresh, fun image for his cover, and chose two directions for the finals.

CD cover: Birdy Gunz

This hip-hop musician sent some photos and gave me a clean slate to work with; I ended up adding a simple effect to the photo to make it look charred, and he loved it.

CD cover; JaSoul

JaSoul, a Jamaican reggae/soul band, wanted something energetic and bright.
