CD Cover Design Brief
We need artwork for an album cover of our new music CD. We will need it in the Square CD format as well as a 11 x 17 poster size, Photoshop files with layers included. The title of the album is called loose ends and ashes. The idea for the imagery would be a rope for a string or something frayed and ashes but also incorporate anatomically correct heart. Another theme for inspiration would be day of the dead artwork. Our imagery is often a little dark but playful and lighthearted.
Also the dirty on clean kind of imagery applies!
Previous DisignCrowd cover art winner image is included in files.
