1. Almost Finished

I'm currently working on a CD cover for a band. I've included a "slice" of the illustration. I thought I was finished but have decided to make some changes to the composition as the effect was not really what I was looking for. I'll post the final work when I've completed the changes. Most likely this slice will also change. I really enjoy creating CD covers. A while back I did a remake of Madonna's "Confessions on the Dance Floor" which you can see here.

3. It’s true: some things that are mostly out of an author’s hands can make or break the book

Chicago Sun-Times book editor Teresa Budasi writes about selecting titles for review: "In some cases I know which titles to look out for, but mostly I'm surprised by what I find." On her new she is choosing a Book of the Day on the basis of "what catches my eye, whether it be a colorful book jacket, provocative titles or subject matter, the size or shape of the book or even a funny-sounding author's name.” Read the resulting blog here.

And I think it’s true that an eye-catching color or a great book jacket can make or break a book, like this gorgeous book that never quite lived up to its jacket. (Oddly enough, they colored it green for the paperback, which I don’t think did it any favors.) But it was still pretty good, a clever idea with a bit less engrossing execution.

4. Herman Brood cd cover


CD cover design for a non-existing tribute to the non-conformist Dutch singer Herman Brood, who killed himself by jumping from a building. The title is a wink to the text "I'll grow up to be just like you" from the song I would stay by the Dutch band Krezip.

5. Hélix de Abril...Proceso!




Mucho podríamos hablar de diseño y técnicas y tendencias e ideas y cosas nuevas y software. Pero creo que una buena idea nace y llega a su culmen en tu cabeza en menos de 3 segundos. Así me paso con esta portada de Hélix(del mes de abril). PUM! E inmediatamente empecé a dibujar lo que creí que era la portada ideal, y sin duda así fue.
El proceso fue divertido y no se me gusto mucho el resultado final. Los dejo con este que es el proceso de boceto, digital e impreso final.

Este numero va dedicado para mi Dniz, el Pupo y mi sayayin Pik….PD..pícale al blog loco.

We can talk a lot about design and design technics and trenes and a bunch of ideas, new and old and software too. But i Belice that a good idea is born in less tahn 3 seconds incide your head. So here is the cover of Hélix. It just happend BANG…and it came to me the inspiration to do this cover imiately so i started to draw and the result was perfect. So i leave you with the design process.
