Design & Graphics
This is a design process I went through with a wonderful musician friend of mine, Kaitie Sly for an album cover and a possible band cover for a previous music band she was in called Syriem. It was a lovely process, very creative and fun to do. I really enjoy listening to music when doing creative work and having specific songs given to me to design with was fantastic.
Larunoir is a fictitious electronic music band looking to have an album cover fully designed and some additional branding merchandise such as t-shirts, hats and tote bags.
The cd/album covers and interior cover design was made using free attribution photos, a public domain etching that was made in the year 1554 and Photoshop. The client (I had a volunteer agree to be a persona for the band for the cover design elements) chose the final design (the mannequin on the road) to be used for the cover and with the other branding materials.

These hand drawn designs I created are from "Things to Sea!" an animated Flash transformation short clip. When Adobe killed Flash, my SWF file animation did not survive the transfer to HTML Canvas. However, it was screen recorded without the interactive buttons between scenes. Visit YouTube video.
