Album Redesign




I decided to do a redesign of two of my favorite singers - Enya and Carrie Underwood. Enya is a classic perfectionist, Carrie Underwood is more of an energetic, clean and fun type of singer.

With the Enya redesign, I decided to redesign her album cover, Paint the Sky with Stars. I merged an image of her on the cover of her Amarantine album along with an image of stars in the sky that I found. I used the following tools:
  • Dodge and Burn
  • Pen Tool (Illustrator to duplicate Enya's 'logo')
  • Magnetic Lasso
  • Magic Wand
  • Eraser
  • Eyedropper
  • Clone
With Carrie Underwood's, I redesigned her Some Hearts album cover. Carrie Underwood has a clean, energetic image. I decided to go with a simpler design. The color of the background is symbolic of energy. I tried to select an image of her that was more carefree and comfortable. The tools I used were:
  • Dodge and Burn
  • Magnetic Lasso, Polygonal Lasso and Pen Tool in Illustrator for the Hearts.
  • Eraser
  • Eyedropper
  • Paint Bucket
  • Clone
  • Smudge
