CD artwork

[mjb72]

As a former freelance graphic designer and long time Carpenters fan, I like to re-create artwork for albums, CDs, promo items, etc. in my spare time. I know it would cost pretty pennies to print my designs onto CDs but it's fun to make these while listening to the individual album. I have yet to make one for VOICE OF THE HEART and LOVELINES, but will soon. I'm new to the site and guess I can only submit three pictures a post...?

Those are really neat! The designs all reflect the theme of the album, too.

The "A Kind of Hush" CD is must like the LP art they gave us. LOVE "Close to You"!!

The real thing in the 35th Anniversary box set:



Nice work @mjb72!

Would it though? I think you can buy CD labels for not that much, and print them with any printer.

These look excellent!

Thank you much, I appreciate the compliment!

I'll submit the others in chronological order, 3 picture files at a time.

Seeing as NOW & THEN turns 50 this year, I had fun with making a couple of "Deluxe" CD artwork as well, plus a 40th year "Song" edition LP cover (made back in 2012...yikes, I'm getting old!) Hope you all like 'em!

These are utterly fabulous. Great job!

 

[CarpentersToYou]

These are great! I would love to see the tan album with that disc!

 

[Rick-An Ordinary Fool]

These are awesome, definitely look like something Japan would release with such detail and thought.

How would Karen’s solo album look?

 

[Carl]

Wow these are amazing!!

 

[Electroliner]

Beautiful Work!!!

I really love this one, the car is a great touch!

 

[GDBY2LV]

Wow, that was quick to be taken off the site? Copy rights prohibitive?

Everything's still here for me.

[newvillefan]

I can still see everything too.

 

[GDBY2LV]

Now they are back.

 

[A&M Retro]

Wow! I love these. You are very talented!

 

[Rick-An Ordinary Fool]

I found that these take awhile to load on my end. I still see them.

You should patent that “Offering you a Ticket to Ride” That’s a brilliant tie in to both albums. Ha

So where is "Voice Of The Heart", "An Old Fashioned Christmas" & "Lovelines"??
