Adobe Creative Residency 2018 - Album Artwork

"ANEW LOVE:
WORLD REAWAKENING"
 LP Album Artwork

Adobe Creative Residency 2018
Focus: Graphic Design


Problem :: Stagnant Album Artwork & traditional musician norm becoming out of date.
I see a lot of musicians and artists spend so much time and effort on their music yet they rest their vision on just a single static image that they expect to represent the world of sound they create.

Solution :: Becoming an artist. Integrating new technology, and social media, with music industry.

Mission :: Create album artwork that extends beyond a static album cover and expands into multi-media branding.

Vision :: Combining your eyes with your ears to open your heart and inspire your mind.
OVERALL GOALS
1. Create Album Artwork - Create, Publish, Share: intertwined with my music in a new and innovative way.

Album Artwork

2. Publish, Print, Release Artwork - Incourage analog creators using Adobe digital tools to take their creation to anew level. Take my creativity and career to anew height by finally having my graphic design tangible via LP vinyl record and expanding the palette into multi-media art and other applications including social media branding and live performance visuals.

3. Inspire the Process: encourage other musicians and artists to utilize the digital tools to take their artistry to the next level, energize and sustain their analog creations. Its good to exercise the eye to allow energy to flow throughout, strengthening the mind body soul.
