This new design spotlight is actually a little delayed. I finished this project early LAST year, but in the bustle of the 2013 work load, this is the first I’m getting to show it off. Shine was a project of North Point Music to showcase their really awesome kids music. Seriously, this music isn’t the kind that makes parents want to cover their ears…it’s good and fun and quality. The challenge, therefore, was to design a cover that reflected the quality of the music, something that would appeal to parents as much as kids. We started with a series of illustrated covers which I truly loved…
After a few rounds of covers, we decided that the illustrated covers were still too young. After a bit more experimenting we ended up with a more adult friendly cover. From there, we created album artwork that worked well with the new cover. You can check out Shine! by North Point Kids here.
