Summary
I specialize in creating emotionally resonant album covers that capture the spirit of your music through evocative illustrations. My style emphasizes expressive imagery and atmospheric scenes, ensuring your album art resonates with listeners and leaves a lasting visual impact.
Process
1. Project Consultation & Briefing:
Music Listening & Discussion: We'll begin with a thorough discussion of your music. Please provide me with access to your song(s) and share your vision for the album art.
Key elements: Discuss the song's mood, genre, key themes, target audience, and any specific requests or preferences you have for the artwork (e.g., color palettes, style preferences, imagery suggestions).
Creative Brief: We'll work together to create a concise creative brief that outlines the project goals and desired outcomes.
2. Concept Development & Exploration:
Initial Sketches: Based on our discussions and the creative brief, I will create 2-4 initial sketch concepts to explore different visual directions for your album cover.
Client Feedback: I will present the sketches to you for review and feedback. We'll discuss your preferences and refine the chosen concept together.
3. Finalized Sketch & Approval:
Refined Sketch: I will refine the chosen sketch based on your feedback, ensuring it accurately reflects the music's mood and message.
Client Approval: Once you're satisfied with the finalized sketch, we'll proceed to the next stage.
4. Color & Rendering:
Color Exploration: I will explore color palettes and rendering techniques to bring the illustration to life.
Client Review: I will present color and rendering options for your review and feedback.
5. Revisions & Refinements:
Revisions: I offer a limited number of revisions to ensure your complete satisfaction with the final design.
Client Collaboration: I will work closely with you throughout the revision process to address any concerns or make necessary adjustments.
6. Final Delivery:
High-Resolution Files: Upon your approval, I will deliver high-resolution files of the final album cover illustration in various formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG, PDF) suitable for print and digital use.
Project Completion: The project is considered complete upon successful delivery of the final files.
