Music Packaging
I’ve worked on 80 CD, vinyl and DVD packages over the years, the majority of those in the past decade. Clients include Six Shooter Records, the Orange Lounge Recording Company, Royal Wood, and many independent artists. Here are some recent covers and the art from some of my favourites.
Royal Wood, “Gold” : I created this typography for Royal's new album. The title was changed, however, and sadly the artwork wasn't used in the end.
Jon Brooks, “No One Travels Alone” : Cover whale illustration by Martin Tielli. Whale on disc created with 1s and 0s. As Jon said, the album “takes a critical look at what happens when humanity replaces its religions with technology.”
Jeffery Straker, “Dirt Road Confessional” : I did the typography, dirt road illustration by Natasha Sasic.
David Baxter, “Patina” : For the cover of this album, I designed and hand carved the type out of a piece of cedar. It was “aged” by Brian Gravestock, and photographed by Jen Squires, who did all the photography.
Luke Doucet, “Broken (and other rogue states)” : Design, layout and photo manipulation by CP. Photos by Anne Gillespie; illustration by Martin Tielli.
Melissa McClelland, “Thumbelina's One Night Stand” : Design, layout and capital letter illustrations by CP; cover illustration and paintings by Martin Tielli.
Martin Tielli, “The Ghost of Danny Gross Part II” : Design, layout and typography by CP and Martin Tielli; paintings and illustration by Martin Tielli.
