CD cover design is an exciting field. 5inches x 5inches of scrambling to the top to get seen for that brief second. Each cover must stand out from the thousands in the racks, portray the artist's style and often their face, and get that newcomer some attention, or that old guy a fresh look. I've not designed many covers so here I show some that were not the final cover. They were covers done in the exploration stages of the design but have design merit on their own. Oft times it would be great to do many different covers...but I guess that's just the artist wanting to show more work, not the businessman showing sales.
