The Album Artwork

When I envisioned the artwork, I saw shades of deep blue and white, like a ‘churning sea of emotions’. I had a few artists in mind to realise this vision and was in the process of writing the commission brief when I saw the works my friend Annie Cutler had created for her exhibition at the Welsh Assembly.

I asked about a specific work named ‘Tempest’ which fitted the brief perfectly and she said that while I couldn’t have the canvas until after the exhibition, I could have a digital copy to use in the meantime. We discussed the type of credit she would want and decided that I would include a link to her website in the sleeve notes. However, she hadn’t finished the creation of her website by the time the CDs went to print and so I simply included her name and the title of the work.

For the font, I wanted something sleek and simple that wouldn’t distract from the artwork. After auditioning a few, I settled on one from the Photoshop. I decided on white text and made sure that it stayed away from the white sections of the cover.
