nighthawks - album cover - update





I have decided to design three singles, for my fictional band. So far i have, 'healing with colour' (top pic) and 'between the galaxies', the 3rd is a work in progress. They keep evolving, and so far I like 'between the galaxies' the best, so I may change the rest, to have black backgrounds. I really think it has the best name, as the images remind me slightly of the pictures you see of distant galaxies, or the northern lights, on 'the sky at night'./////////// i just added the promo poster for the band, its a 1st draft , so there is still a lot of work to do before the final draft.

nighthawks - album cover


CD album cover for a fictional band called 'nighthawks' ( i got the band and album name by randomly stumbling through wikipedia). I have combined some of the techniques that I learned from my earlier posts, below, to create the artwork. This isn't the finished article, because its late now, and i've been on this all day, that will follow shortly, along with an accompanying promotional poster.

Some more (of the same) techniques II


I finally discovered how to punch holes in objects using illustrator............ and it turns out it's really simple. I have also learned how to blend objects, thanks to the computer arts tutorials, check them out here.

Some more (of the same) techniques


More of the same here, I don't know what I am going to do with these images! I really need to get started on a new project, but its kind of hard when i am not being given briefs like I was at college.
