bands need good marketing pieces that can easily be identified as “theirs.” i’ve had the privilege of creating nearly every piece of fuller still’s band marketing. this upcoming concert poster and press kit follow very closely to the design of the cd and webpage.

the minnesota based band, fuller still, needed a simple one color tshirt design to sell on their tour. and keeping with the key photo from the photo shoot and cd cover design, this design was born. the client noted that they were a huge hit and sold out very quickly.

a friend of mine (who goes by the name “ua”) wanted a simple cd insert for a cd he recorded himself. i modeled the design after his bare bones voice and guitar sound. i also really wanted to carry out that “hand made” feel of the cd production throughout the design as well.

the restoration project is a colorado based band/non-profit organization that i’ve done several projects for. this design was a concert poster to send to upcoming show venues so they could advertise the concert.

this is one of the many projects i did for a local milwaukee singer-songwriter, tammy ann winn. the goal was a simple one color tshirt design that was not “album-specific” so that she could sell these even after her next cd release. the client wanted a similar design as another client of mine, with the “sketchy outline” feel. several color combinations were created for reference.

the theme was “calm the storm”, and instead of doing a stereotypical display of “storm”, i decided to create this cd cover (and the design on the cd itself) using only text.
