Art direction, design, and copywriting for product catalogs.
The concept for this campaign was to show the passion and energy of Disc Makers' independent musician clients, highlighting their new CD as the key to helping them find success on their own terms. Additional design: Nicole Klein


A selection of CD package designs executed at Disc Makers. Designers at Disc Makers produce 1-2 complete disc packages in a day, which means you have to execute quickly, accurately, and with confidence. Client requests range from the simple to the ridiculous. Suffice it to say that I can apply lightning, fire, or leopard print to almost anything, and have won design awards by making clients from hell look like dream jobs.
