This is the accompanying back Cover for the CD. The song titles are also things that are special to me (mainly my family). I wanted to pull the vibrate colors on the front cover to the back to tied everything in together as well of use the texture overlay in both the front and back.
This month for my DCG class we had 3 main projects. The last project was to create a CD Cover. It could be a CD Cover for a real band or artist or a fictitious band or artist.
I chose to do a fictitious artist and named the artist Charisma. This is a name that is dear to my heart. I also titled the album “Realizing Potential” because even though 6 weeks ago I was practically at Tabula Rasa (DA&D wise) I quickly realized that I have great potential to archieve many things I have always dreamed off.
The CD Cover was all created from my own drawings (done in Illustrator) and then the rest of the cover was completed in photoshop.
Yesterday I was just going a really rough and emotional time. I have been sick all month long and I have fallen behind in alot of my work. I have also been unable to attend to so many other things. The thing that was making me very emotional is I moved to Orlando to be closer to family while I go to school and also I hoped that DH will pick up alot of the work I normally do to get this family running and ontop of things. Things havent gone quite as smoothly and I feel overwhelmed by all my work, responsibilities, school etc and I just feel like I shouldn't still be asking people to chip in an do their part when they already gave me their word that they word do it. Also, I feel like they aren't as committed. It sucks and annoys me to no end. The other thing that is bugging me is I feel wehn people need me to be there for them they want my 100% commitment and I try my level best to do just that but when the tables are turned around people just flake. It is just makes me feel upset and alone. I just have thise huge boulder on my shoulders and no one to give me any relief.
Anyway to just release some my emotions, I started working on a few abstract pieces this evening and playing with color. I just wanted to share a few. I like how some turned out and 2 in particular are so powerful and emotional to me. I hope the same comes across to those viewing these pieces.
I have been thinking of doing a children's book, well mainly a book for Rachel. I wrote a little anecdote that was inspired by a "why mommy?" moment a few weeks ago. I wanted to illustrate it but didnt't know how to go about doing it. So instead of being stuck and frustrated with this idea in my head I decided to start doing small pieces at a time. So far I have Rachel's face/head (which almost looks like Mickey's ears, I hope disney doesn't come after me hahahaha). Anyway I will refine it to look more like hair as I get better but fo now I think it works.
Anyway here are a few pieces I did yesterday and today.
Here are some clothes options
Here is an initial sketch that wasn't as good (especially the nose :-P)
