CD Cover

I made a CD cover for the wifey's church choir. I made an oil painting and was happy with the results. However, after photographed it looked absolutely horrible on a screen or in a printed format. It's the nature of painting and is not uncommon to have this happen, as photographs can mess with colors and pick up textures in unforeseeable ways.

So I took the best picture I could, and added some photoshop effects. After a lot of trial and error, I found a nice combination of filters that kept the original look, but cleaned up the photographed effects. Once I made the realization that this is a digital project, things got much better.




And the music is good, too. If you are interested in ordering a copy, click here.
