The Reigns Band CD Package Design

Just finished up this project for The Reigns Band who will be having their CD release party later this month. Way to go Reigns Band!  I utilized images I had made from a live show and integrated some previously captured images for the cover collage. The band logo on the disk was derived from one of the images used in the cover.  The back cover photo was supplied by the band.

Nature :: Photo Friday

 Photograph © Jane Melgaard
The gallery has been updated and now includes a favorite, American White Pelicans. This group stopped off on a bit of sand bar on their migratory path along the Mississippi River. The "horn" on their upper bill appears during mating season.

Surfaces :: Photo Friday
























Didn't the Justice League building have the ability to appear and disappear, a bit like Wonder Woman's airplane?

Hot & Cool
















I sought these ferns out as a backdrop for a commissioned birth announcement. While this image wasn't quite right for the project it speaks to me through the texture of the new leaves unfurling and the greeeeeeen of life. Especially during these frigid days of January. Mother Nature creates in all temperatures and her crystaline trees were a beautiful sight to behold. Here's a link to more images... http://bit.ly/bmuSrZ

Mustang Football Team Poster


In doing the Mustang Football team and individual portraits this year I thought I would try something new. I asked each of the team members to get into the position they would be playing on the field. Here is the result, complete with the coaching staff, managers and season statistics. Fantastic group.
