PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The goal for this project was to take a preexisting album and redesign a LP Vinyl, Record, CD, and Jewel Case that would appropriately communicate the main theme/message of the album. Below is my design process that lead me to my final composition
SELECTED ALBUM
When selecting an album, the first artist I thought of was Dolly Parton. Dolly has been my favorite country singer for many years, and everything she embodies reflects the kind of person I aspire to be. The one I decided to redesign was her album, Blue Smoke, which was released in 2014.
Original LP Blue Smoke Design released in 2014

FINAL LP PHOTO
Below shows a side by side comparison of the original photograph that I took as well as the final edited LP cover. The majority of my editing was within Adobe Lightroom Classic, with some smaller highlight and shadow enhancements in PhotoShop.

CD PHOTO CONTENT
The CD design will stick with the same cohesion as the LP Design and also communicate that same message of peace, hope, and comfort of a bright future ahead. Editing the photos with the same warm tone.
