BrishenRain descends to the sodden earth
Obscuring the moss-strewn trail
Water satiates the hoof prints
And douses pasture rails

Showers mingle with the wind
Which sways the shallow reeds
Silence yields to a clarinet;
The voice of a forceful steed

An ebony phoenix of stallions
His lustrous coat vastly drenched
Tearing through the downpour
His jaw begins to clench

Lashed by the plunging water
He closes his deep amber eyes
Immersing himself in the gallop
He contemplates the skies

I Walk The Line...by *SaraChristensen

Designs & Interfaces / CD Covers

_{Download Size: 2160 x 2160}

One portion of our final group project for Digital Publishing class.
We were to pick a "dead artist" from a list and create a CD booklet
for one of their albums. I was assigned cover art, so voila!
This is our final CD cover for the Johnny Cash album.

i r jealous, as usual >__< my group hasn't even started on that thing yet!! did u make this in InDesign??

*SaraChristensen Mar 31, 2009 Student Digital Artist

Well, at least you're the jealous one this time.
I'm always the one jealous of your stuff---especially of those
swirls that you doodle on everything! Gah, they're too good.

I made this in... Photoshop.
Probably should redo it in InDesign, huh?

~Joriss Mar 30, 2009

Pretty good but some colors like the blue on the guitar and the green didn't seem to fit right in. I assume it's a blending option?
Problem is, it's easy to notice a flaw and complain about it but often the complainer doesn't have a solution. And indeed, I have no idea what to do about those colors. Only advice is maybe the use of a photo filter?

Still, it's pretty damn impressive and great choice on Johnny Cash

*SaraChristensen Mar 31, 2009 Student Digital Artist

It was a blending option (which I'm obsessed with because I think they're magical).
But the blue and green were intentional for me, so that I could work in some cool
colors---everything felt so monochromatic and dull without them.

I'll try a few things out and see if I like it without
those colors. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it!
And of course, thank you for the compliment.

This is awesome! Suggestion? Try taking the texture away from the guitar itself? Or lower its opacity a TON.. make it center and concentrate on it. I think it'll totally make a HUGE difference if you can tweek it right. Its amazing already, of course, but I think that might set it apart from the every day manip

.

Anyway, looks AMAZING.

*SaraChristensen Mar 30, 2009 Student Digital Artist

Oh man... I hadn't thought about taking the texture off the guitar.
I'll have to experiment with that and see what happens!

So you think I should center the guitar on the actual canvas?
That could work, too. I'd have to do some reorganizing, but that's okay.

Thanks so much! I love your critiques to death.

~GymkcannaGrl Mar 30, 2009

No i dont mean actually center it, i mean if you take away the opacity of the texture on it it will center the EYE on it. Draw them in, make it a center of attention along with the text. Get it? lol

I love giving it to you btw! You take advice so well

*SaraChristensen Mar 30, 2009 Student Digital Artist

Gotcha! That makes total sense now.
I do see how the guitar kind of gets lost behind the texture. Good eye!

Thanks, I try. I figure it's the only way I'll ever grow!
