ART & MUSIC

Over the last several years, I have made relationships with several small music producers and have worked with them to create cover art. What I find most interesting about these projects is how they exemplify the different ways visual art and music relate to and influence each other. I was given complete freedom to design what I wanted for Image 1 and was inspired by listening to the album. Whereas in Image 2, I had made the art first and the musician was inspired by and made a song based around the piece. Then there's examples like Image 3, where the musician had a very clear concept in mind and my job was to simply make that idea a visual reality. For Image 4, the musician had a vague concept in mind for the cover art, so my job was to interpret and develop that concept into a a fully fleshed out design. I have also worked on logo design as seen in the examples below. The top row shows the evolution of the logo as early concepts and back and fourth conversations with the musician develop into the fully fleshed out design shown beneath. I believe this logo is a good example of my attention to detail. I heavily researched the concept of 'Dantian' and its history in order to come up with the best design I could. The 7 rainbow orbs on top represent the 7 chakras, while the 3 green orbs represent the 3 localized seas of chi within the body, also known as 'Dantians.' In addition to the logo design, I also helped the artist with marketing such as developing business cards, profile pictures for social media, and sticker designs like the ones below.
