Two versions of an album art that I created, ten years apart.
What is this about?
This was a graphic design project I did back in 2012 (left side) and recently in 2022 (right side).
In 2012, the project was to create an album art, print it, cut it out, and fit it in a blank CD jewel case. The purpose of this was to take it with me when attending an interview, for example a job interview, and showcase my skills and experience. It goes with my portfolio displaying examples of my graphic design works.
When my teenager kids were attending secondary school, I did manage to apply for an adult course in graphic design at a college, in the hope of refreshing my skills, and getting better qualifications to replace my outdated ones. When attending an interview, I showed this CD album art to the interviewer, whom was impressed.
The woman seen in the album art is not a model, she is a very close personal long-time friend of mine, herself a single mother, and she posed for me as a favour.
The train, seen in the background, was an old steam train at one of those heritage railway stations in the United Kingdom. The photographs of my friend posing at the railway station was taken with a Nikon D200 around February 2012.
About the artist and album title.
Lisa Jones is the name of a fictional character. When doing graphic design projects, like designing a CD album case cover, music video cover, tour poster, t-shirt, or magazine article layout, of a solo female artist, I use this fictional character in my designs.
The fictional Lisa Jones could be described as singer-songwriter, guitar player, her genres are rock, alternative rock, and that she could be kind of similar to Sharleen Spiteri or Sheryl Crow.
The album title The Mystery Lady At The Station, is a made up title. As I mentioned above, the woman in the photo is a close friend whom did a favour for me, not a booked model. She doesn’t mind if I created a graphic design work using the photo of her, as long as she is not clearly seen. So when I thought to do a cropped version, I realised the image makes her look like a mystery woman, and decided to give it a title based on this.
The track titles are actually sort of like a diary or journal, done in a bullet point style, and serves as reminder for me, to remember events I did in my life.
The top row shows the front page of the inlay card, which is the main album art cover for the front of the jewel case. The bottom row shows the back of the jewel cases.
On the left side.
This was done in 2012 using CorelDRAW 10 on my older computer running on Windows 98.
During 1987 to 89, I attended a college course, studying traditional graphic design, which means using pencils, pens, paints, craft knife and masking tapes, because at that time, the college did not have enough computers for all students.
Years later, in 1995, I got myself a Windows 3.1 computer, mainly for using word processor, but realised that at that time, more and more companies are switching from old fashion traditional graphic design to digital way done on computers. I figured it would make sense if I buy myself a graphic design software and install it on my computer, then self-teach myself in digital art.
So, I bought CorelDRAW 3, few years later I upgraded my computer to a new model with Windows 98. After that, I upgraded from Version 3 to 4, and then to 10.
Here is how I did it: I imported two photographs of my friend into Corel Photo-Paint, and used its range of filters to try to turn the photos into some kind of art-like images, like a watercolour painting or similar, then saved them as JPEG format images.
After that, I imported the JPEG images into CorelDRAW’s vector software, and created the inlay card and back cover. The tickets on the front cover, and the fictional company logo on the back cover, were modified from pre-prepared Clipart images that came on the CD-ROM.
Then simply print them out, cut them out, and install them into a jewel case.
On the right side.
This was done in 2022, this time using Adobe Creative Cloud software, on my current computer running on Windows 7 Professional Edition.
In the summer of 2015, I custom built my new computer with Windows 7 Professional Edition, in 64-bit mode. Sadly that mean some of the older software including CorelDRAW could not be installed on my new machine, as they were programmed for 32-bit and were incomparable.
So I switched to Adobe software. I’m aware that many photographers use Adobe Lightroom only, while many prefer Adobe Photoshop only, and some prefer both of them. However as I not only just do photography, but also do graphic design, I opt for the “All Apps” package, which includes InDesign and Illustrator, as well as Lightroom and Photoshop.
Because I was unable to install my old CorelDRAW 10 software on my Windows 7 machine, I hoped to open the original .CDR format files in Illustrator, and try to convert into .AI format file. Unfortunately there were some problems with the designs, like missing fonts, photos showing outside the lines, stuff like that. It would request some major changes to make them workable.
So I decided to start afresh.
Here’s how I did it: First, I imported the photos into Photoshop, and saved them as .PSD format files, instead of exporting them as .JPEG files. I used Photoshop’s filters to change the looks, and saved them.
For the inlay card to be installed in the front cover of the jewel case, I used Adobe InDesign. Because the inlay card is often created as a booklet, InDesign is better suited for this. I imported the .PSD file into InDesign, and if it does not look right, I would make changes to the .PSD file in Photoshop then save them. The InDesign file can be automatically updated with the changes.
For the back cover, I used Adobe Illustrator instead, and like as above, I imported the .PSD file into Illustrator, then create the rest of the details such as track titles, copyright notices, fictional company logo, etc. As with InDesign, if the .PSD image does not look right, I can make changes in Photoshop, save it, and Illustrator will automatically update with the new look.
Conclusion.
So that is why I have two versions of same album art. One was created in 2012 using CorelDRAW on older 32-bit operating system, and the other was redone in 2022 with Adobe software, on 64-bit Windows.

Brochure InDesign page. The diffence in color is du to the fact, that the InDesign publication is in CMYK mode for 4 colour printing, not RGB.
Using Adobe Stock images for advertising purposes.
Licensing Adobe Stock images is not that expensive. I could never make these two model images for less, than I pay Adobe. Naturally there's a risk, that this woman appears in several adds for many different products - but I guess we'll just take that chance :-)
Warm holiday greetings to you and your family!

Every school photo of me from junior kindergarten to grade 12.
From the ages of 4 years old to 17 years old.
I've wanted to do this for awhile, and then earlier today, by coincidence, I saw something exactly like this on Flickr by someone else (except in color).
My apologies for the awful quality of my middle/high school photos, they had to be scanned right out of my yearbooks. I never ordered photos in grade nine or eleven, so I had to do that. And I couldn't find my grade ten ones.
Note: I only got glasses during the winter of 2007, so only my grade 12 photo has me with glasses on. I used Adobe PhotoShop for turning the scanned photos into black and white to match the yearbook photos already black and white, and I used InDesign to put them together.
The number of tags is a record for me. I won't ever put that many again. But then again, I can only add 75, as I found out when I added them.
--------
As well, this will be another Madness reference, this time to the song "That Face."
"I see a face that face is mine/the mirror marks the change in time. A face I'll never see again/and it will never be the same.
Reflections of yesterday!"
I kind of went through that kind of reflection while scanning these, especially my yearbook photos. Indeed, that face will never be the same.
The song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFFg_c1kJKA
These pages were rough-printed on my ailing Epson. The final copies will be print-on-demand with a letterpress-printed dust jacket.

Si nos hemos dado cuenta toda la moda regresa después de algun tiempo, un claro ejemplo de ello son los zapatos puntiaguados de los años 70´s y 80´s, que desaparecieron en la década de los 90´s pero volvieron con fuerza alrededor del año 2006 para adelante

I created all of the artwork for the Annapolis Opera’s 2018-2019 season, including graphics for their production of Bizet’s Carmen. The next frames in the album contain all of the pages for the printed show program. The program was laid out using Adobe InDesign and pulls in elements created in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Out of the season’s eight shows, creating the artwork for Carmen was definitely my favorite. The concept came together with ease. The silhouette of the eponymous Carmen dominates the artwork. She is seductive and a bit risqué. Her flamenco style dress doubles as a rose, with its center directly between her spread legs. To bring her to life I highlighted her lip, fan and an earring in the golden yellow color that is part of the season’s palette.
The title is placed dramatically above her head and the Seville skyline in Adorn Coronet. The other font used is Charcuterie Block. Depending on the layout the main elements of rose-decorated fan, skyline and Carmen herself became larger or smaller to accommodate changes in ratio.
The collateral for the show includes web banners, thumbnail for use on web and in print, postcard, various print ads, a restaurant table card, large format 5x9’ banner, and the 40-page show program.
My overarching goal for the Annapolis Opera 2018-2019 season was to have a cohesive visual brand that carried across all eight productions, and especially tied together the two main-stage shows (the other one being Rossini’s Barber of Seville, which opened the season.) I did this by using the same color palette (reds & yellows) and textures in every production. Additionally, by limiting myself to three fonts I created unity. For titles and subheadings, I used either the script font Adorn Coronet with its many ligatures and swoops, or Charcuterie Block. I started the season with Adorn Roman, but this font did not have any variations in weight, so I ended up changing to Acuta after the first program. The first three fonts were all created by Laura Worthington, so they worked well together. Additionally, silhouettes, and cutouts feature prominently in the artwork of almost all eight shows.

EDIT: Well I'm sure glad I posted this page, because we found an error! The fifth paragraph of dialogue on page 49 needs to be split because there's a new speaker. Of course this totally messes up the nice page break. The agonies of the compositor!
