Covering My Design Journey

Hello my fellow album art lovers! Welcome back to my blog. This week I want to switch things up a little and showcase my own album art for you guys and talk about my process. A huge part of the reason why I’m so passionate about all things album art is because it’s what I do. I feel eternally grateful that I’m able to mesh my two passions together.

Music is a big part of my life (as it is for most people). I would even say it is my love language. I grew up getting dragged to concerts and music festivals by my parents on the regular. I would sit at these shows and watch all the visual elements from the screen behind the musician playing trippy visuals to the merch-stand with all of the artists merchandise and posters. Through this I have developed an intense admiration for the music industry and all of it’s walking parts.

When I started dabbling in graphic design, I knew that I wanted to work with musicians to help visualize their artist identity through design. I also knew that musicians weren’t just going to fall into my lap. If I wanted to design covers I had to reach out to musicians first. I am a firm believer in the Law of Attraction. If you don’t know what the Law of Attraction is it is a “pseudoscience based on the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life.” Changing my mindset was super beneficial to help me get to where I am now. Not only did I start making work to showcase to future artists I work with, but I also spent a majority of my time reaching out to musicians. My days now basically consist of me looking at album art and then making my own.

Each project holds a special place in my heart and shows me my growth as a designer.
