Adrina Thorpe Album artwork by Dennis Salvatier

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:59:53 MST

This project was designed for singer/songwriter Adrina Thorpe. Our initial conversation revealed she wanted to use the title of her album as a basis for the art direction of her album art. The music itself is a journey between darkness and light, so it was a bit of a challenge to balance those two concepts and still make it look full of hope. My original idea and treatment consisted of vibrant colors and a sort of collage look and feel, but the initial comp I put together (which led to what you see here) won her over. It was a real pleasure working with Adrina. (To see the entire project go to http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Album-Design-Adrina-Thorpe/209420).

So many changes are coming. But it all started back in May, not too long after my wedding, that I got laid off. Fortunately, I was given 90 days to find a job. So it's a scary situation and I haven't landed anything yet, but freelance has been good and I'm very hopeful things will work themselves out. What's cool is that I feel my work has has a resurgence in creativity. I've been doing more experimenting which has gotten positive results.

We're on the dawn of a brand new year. All I can think about is how much I want to rededicate myself to illustration. I focus so much on graphic design that I have neglected my first true love - a pencil and paper. This will be a new year's resolution that's sure to stick.

It's been fun these last few weeks to get back into updating my artwanted page with more than just paid projects, but also sketches and personal projects that just reflect what I'm thinking these days. Sometimes you get so caught up with utilizing your computer you forget your first tool was a simple pencil.
