Album Cover: New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning.

A month ago or so I designed this album cover for my friend @melfi for his new mix, New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning.

There are about 16 different layers in this image. I made a lot of the layers overlayed and then trimmed out the water dots so they only remained on top of the leaves. I also added a little yellow lighting coming from behind the leaf layers. As with most of my designs there are always hidden layers that only affect small parts of the overall image. I think this might be one of my favorite album covers I've done recently, only because of the meaning behind it and how it actually matches up with the name of the album.

Go check out the track list for New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning. and download it. If you dig the music, go see the artists at their concerts to support them and/or buy their music.

New Snowboard Design - Coldplay Edition

This is a snowboard that I created and only contains images from the Coldplay concert I saw last night at All Points West. I took well over 50-60 images with my iPhone. To get crazy blurry style images I faced my iPhone towards bright lights and moved my arm a little while taking a picture. This is a good way to come up with original images/art. My friend Melfi has several videos of the Coldplay concert. Specifically the "Lovers in Japan" where they released a lot of paper butterflies and we happened to be right underneath all of them. This was amazing being underneath all of the falling butterflies, it seemed like it was never going to end. Some of these layers are of those butterflies, the stage lights, and random lights in the crowd.

Software Used:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe After Effects CS4

So here is a video of each layer of the snowboard, one image at a time.

Let me know what you think. :)

Other videos from the concert (posted by Melfi):
Coldplay - "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson Cover) Live at All Points West
Coldplay - "Fight for your Right" (Beastie Boys Cover) Live at All Points West
