The Chicago based recording artist approached me to create a cover experience that celebrate the love of his parents, so I decided that we should create a panoramic Rorschach that used family photos from his archive. The Panoramic would be divided into 3rds which created the perfect way to visually represent each Vol from this series.

For the Spotify canvas, I created a lopping animation of the cover that would play continuously with the music.
In today's world, the art of pressing physical copies of albums has become something of a novelty, especially for serious collectors. Showing how that would look is vital to the creative process.

Showing the artist how their cover design would look on a DTS is very important too. I always favor covers that don't show a lot (if any) text makes the album more distinctive.
