Album Cover Art

August 25, 2009

A week or two ago I was asked to see what I could come up for a local band that wanted to use a lime and a shot glass as their cover for their CD that is coming out soon.  I have to be honest, I though long and hard about this one; it was a bit intimating.  How should I light it?  One light or two?  Grids?  Reflectors? What is the background?  Bright? Dark? Moody?  Etc etc.

With a little bit of influence from Zack Arias and his One Light Workshop off I went.  And below is the initial result, I am not sure what they will think.  I sent them a few to look over today and I am sitting here with bated breath waiting for their feedback.  They will either love the samples I sent over or they will hate them;.  OK, I guess it could be in between as well.  More than anything, this was an experience.  I am very used to working with people.  But a product?  Well, that is very different.  But I guess the good news is that they don’t talk back!

Not sure if #1 or #2 is my fav.  But I think it is #2.
