Album Cover: New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning.

A month ago or so I designed this album cover for my friend @melfi for his new mix, New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning.

There are about 16 different layers in this image. I made a lot of the layers overlayed and then trimmed out the water dots so they only remained on top of the leaves. I also added a little yellow lighting coming from behind the leaf layers. As with most of my designs there are always hidden layers that only affect small parts of the overall image. I think this might be one of my favorite album covers I've done recently, only because of the meaning behind it and how it actually matches up with the name of the album.

Go check out the track list for New York Hoosier Presents: A New Beginning. and download it. If you dig the music, go see the artists at their concerts to support them and/or buy their music.
