Merchant Band chinese album
got the opportunity to work on merchant band’s chinese album. that’s right. merchant band singing their songs in chinese. on the CD, instead of hearing wong-da-jong singing “i’m in love,” it’s tim reimherr. feel free to take a moment to be impressed. because i sure was.
anyway. the project took a little longer than hoped….but i’m pretty happy with the result. here are the two intial concepts that i had come up with:
after much discussion we decided we needed to have an album cover that actually showed their faces since this was their first album released in asia. however the image wasn’t strong enough in the first artwork. soooooo we got steve offutt, photographer extroardinare and fabulous coworker to take some photos. At first we were severely bummed b.c we got rained out, but after choosing a different location, the weather worked in our favour giving us an awesome shine/texture to the street. The first cover was something i started to work on, but the second is what we landed with. Hope you guys like it!
