M3 CD booklet Part 2

My concept for my CD, consumed around the idea of Cocooning. Meaning everything around me is in fact me. Ether it is wrapping yourself in music/lyrics or just stuff in general.

I wanted to keep the inner pages 2,7,3,6 simple so they did not come off as to busy. Within a CD booklet, the the lyrics are at some print you should still be able to read them. When it came to the subtle images throughout the booklet, I made images that fit the song and lyrics at hand.

Example: Light On by Eric Balfour

"There will be a light on the planet it for you."

I decided to go with an image of planet to go hand and hand, while always using my color scheme which is a pink.

Now when it comes to the Puppet by Alaska Thunderfuck, I decided to make the lyrics and the song title like they are held up like strings and made a creepy version of a puppet face that fades into the background.

Pages 4 and 5, I wanted it to be a poster like image that you would be able to rip out and hang up if you wanted to, so I took an image of myself and which turned out bad, but I edited it within Photoshop to make the mouth hole appear in the right place.

I put the song duration's within the booklet at the end of each song, since not all booklets have them on the back cover. I used another CD booklet I had on hand as a template to see how and where things go.

I kept the type designs for the titles the same as well as the song lyrics. I only used two fonts throughout the whole booklet, which I did in Illustration. Aside from my name on the front cover, I wanted that to contrast. The color scheme is pink and black because they are my favorite color and fit the theme I was going for. For the templates I used In-design to put the images side by side.

The Hudson Valley Inn Logos & Business Card

NEW NEW NEW When thinking about the design concepts for The Hudson Valley in, I did take into consideration for the scenery it provided for city dwellers. Although I still wanted to give it a classy cozy type feel also. I kept a color scheme of black and red, I figured a dark red would be a nice contrast to the black but also pleasing to the eye and also easy to read. I know a typical business card is horizontal, but when putting everything together, I felt as though my designs looked better in the a vertical manor. Plus I believe it gives it more of a personal touch. I made sure to have the back of the business card readable and neat, all a business card needs is basic information, and in this case information of the restaurant manager. I also made it a little authentic by having Maines actually zip code. I also added a personal touch and added a filter to the card as a hold, like a card stock with some light ridges.

Preliminary Work for Main Project Part One

I have had some experience with making signs. Though those signs were for L.E.D.S. I sketched out a few for the main hotel logo as well as for the upscale restaurants and bar. I took it upon my own creativity considering there is no such thing as The Hudson Valley Inn. It left open to one owns interpretation of what the names and styles of the hotel would be and have. I did however, keep in considering the feel that was mention about a scenic escape for city dwellers, but still keeping it classy but with a cozy like feel.

But yet it is still very appealing to the eye and is very interesting and for most never really been seen before. I guess you could say it is like a puzzle and that is some what I was going for. Yes the design is dark and the color schemes will reflect such. Purple background, with red tongue, brown pieces for the faces and hair. Here are my design sketches:
