“New Beginning” Cover Art Design
“New Beginning” was the first and only released single from an unreleased EP titled Getting Started, created by me in 2020.
I created several drafts during this process, all of which will be provided below.
Proficient use of Photoshop, including text boxes, blending modes, and textures, showcases advanced graphic design software skills. The application of these tools results in two album artwork variations with seamlessly edited images and text. Skillful application of color, value, and texture governs the composition, setting the tone for the single "New Beginning." The utilization of compositing multiple images and values creates a compelling image, with intense saturation enhancing the overall image.
The design's development involved thoughtful exploration, incorporating contrasting images of a bedroom in the morning and outdoors at night. The juxtaposition adds depth to the design, reflecting creativity.
Adherence to given directions is evident, considering the complexities of CD and vinyl designs beyond cover artwork. This showcases an understanding of the broader requirements of the project. The final design presents a clear, high-quality, and color-accurate image. Its intricate and detailed presentation, including legible text, demonstrates craftsmanship in creating a cohesive design for various components of the CD package.
