DCG Final Project

Our final project for DCG was to design either an album cover, or a DVD cover for a band or movie of our choice (or of our own imagination). I had done a CD cover the month before in DAT, so I took that band and idea and ran with it. I came up with two totally opposite concepts.

From the DAT class, I decided to take my old band at home, and warp it into something more usable. I came up with Gabriel, a Christian Punk Rock Alternative band with an Album title of “Aurora” based on the hit song “Aurora”. (I actually wrote several songs, you can check them out in the DAT post down below.) However when I was trying to come up with an image for the CD Cover, all I could think of was angels – so I took that and ran with it… and tried it out. But, I didn’t like where it was going at all so I made another one.

I did some sketching, got some ideas and put them into Illustrator. I also looked at other images of wings and tried to mush it all together. Made an illustrator girl and then later attached the wings to her.

And here is the final product. The songs on the back of the album are actually real songs, written by myself. Some are finished… Some are in the process of being finished… and if you haven’t noticed yet, Music is a huge part of my life ;)

And here’s Frankie – I’m just adding him in here for fun. He’s a little something we played around with in class. I really like it though so here he is!

Sketches

Some sketches I did when I has spare time.

I love Japanese anime. That’s where a lot of my inspiration comes from.

Faceless (The head on the right is not a close up, it’s a different sketch)

An Idea I started during Art History class when we were looking at Dali’s work. It started as a piano morphing into a staircase. I added the Person, the umbrella and the rain later, and finished the idea with a face.
