I started the art out loosely replicating the original cover. I sourced free and open source images to create the foundation for the work and photo composited them together to create the character and scene. After the main features of the character were in place I used the original artwork as a reference to really try and replicate the design to the best of my skill. Many of the important details of the character I hand painted after to give it my own spin. Finally, I referenced the typography for the band and album title and created some custom graphics to re-imagine them in a way that matched up with my reimagined artwork.

CD & Case

This challenge was largely an effort to experiment with the process of print design for a CD. I have experience designing book sleeves and jackets so I applied my understanding of those processes to this project. Using the original CD case as a reference, I repurposed my artwork and laid out type for the front, back, spine, and CD for a printed CD Case.

Poster & T-Shirt

After re-creating the art and CD, it felt like a shame to not push the project even further.

I referenced a poster design done for the original album release of Indestructible and remade it with the new artwork and updated fonts.

Then I created a shirt design from the artwork. I wanted it to be ready for screen printing so I re-arranged the art to fit a shirt or other piece of apparel, dithered the design to preserve the details, and separated the artwork into a 3 color design.
