Print-CD Cover: Space Monkey-Hyperactive

Kenneth — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 01:30:15 +0000

Cover CD for Space Monkey’s 2nd release. SM wanted something similar to the first cover but he had an image of a gas mask that he wanted us to use. The addition of the samurai crest on the top gave the art a manga sort of touch which i liked.

Print-CD Cover: Agitato Homemade

CD print job for Agitato. It was hard to get the idea for this one, but once I had it, it was quick to produce. I wanted to capture the meaning of homemade products and make it trancy, so pickled creatures was the way to go. This was an excelent opprtunity to get started with Maya. The 3d germs were basic enough. Some nice shaders from Highend3d give them a nice silky touch.

Print-CD Cover: Agitato – Stereo Activity

New compilation from Agitato. This one was a bit restricting. The label insisted on having speakers on the cover which is the brand mark of the compilation series. Created the speaker object with Maya.

Print-CD Cover: Chillum 4- The ultimate tribal ambient journey

Kenneth — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 16:00:55 +0000

Just finished a CD cover job for Agitato Records. Agitato is an Israeli independent trance music label. The inspiration for this one came to me as I was toying with the chill word in my head and thinking of the most chilled being on earth. Jellyfish, floating about in the cold ocean. The art is made from a collection of real and rendered jellyfish tentacles laid over a hi-res image of a jellyfish.

Print-CD Cover: Trauma – TB-O-NOT-2B

I really love this one. The name of the band makes it hard to make a cover that is not heavy metal. I needed to mix the TB303 from the releases title with the name of the band. So we have a TB in the trauma emergency room. I’m not sure if all the viewers get the perspective of this image, Perhaps I should have added a glass table so the TB is not hanging mid air. The artist was thrilled when he received the cover.

Print-CD Cover: Indica

CD cover for a new release from Agitato. This is the second cover that I am creating for Agitato. Seems they liked the previous cover I did for Space Monkey and I am enjoying designing CD covers as well.
I have created something pretty generic, this is a standard Trance cover, no messing. Used Maya for rendering the landscape and added lots of layer overlays in Photoshop for the Mandala.

Print-CD Cover: Space Monkey – Psychotic episode

Kenneth — Thu, 25 Mar 2004 15:32:37 +0000

This is my first attempt at an album cover. DJ Space Monkey happens to be a good friend of mine so this was a good opportunity for me. The basic idea was to try and get something psychotic/monkeyish/futuristic/trancy. I think it came out quite right. The art is created by overlaying a ton of images onto the monkey and blending them all together. Space monkey applied some post processing.
