CD Cover Design

Most projects start with a discussion with the band members about any ideas and concepts they have. Then I try to gather some keywords, influences and work they’ve already seen.

Conversations usually start and revolve around these planed standard questions:

• Your Band name – should be dominating the design and concept?
• Album name – if required?
• Please provide a little information about your band Key words that describe your band – eg. Metal, rock, indie, gore, fast, heavy, melodic etc
• What do you like/dislike – bands, films, books, games?
• Who are your peers in the same field please give links if possible?
• “Look and feel” required such as horror/surreal/old/grungy/clean/mimimal/fun?
• Any definite ideas you have about the design concept + examples of album artwork design you like/dislike (links if possible)?
• Who is your Target audience?
• Colour preferences if any. Should the album art be single colour/two colour/full colour/no specific preference?
• Any other information you would like to add?
