Classical Piano/New Age Album Designs, client work again :] Options

[digitalfragrance]

Okay, I did some album artwork for Mark Nicholson, and you can find more info about him [here]. He is expanding his career into new age piano compositions, and he was looking for some album art.

The designs are pretty simple and not graphic intensive, but they were all made to his specifications and ideas. In general, New Age piano is very minimalistic. There's a couple of things I would have liked to change, like a couple of the blended piano keys on the designs, but eh... gotta make the customer happy!

Free and Clear
I'm immensely proud of my piano in the water... took forever to photo-manip that to make it look natural because the stock photo of the grand was so stark and different. Still couldn't manage to get the legs to look totally immersed, but close enough!

Touch of Spirit
Of the two, I don't really like this one that much, but I think the back is good.

Nice work, Rachael! =]

While the work is very nice as an album design, I am slightly disturbed by the piano and the water.

I would love to critique it, but only with your permission because it will be lengthy and more like the knowledge of the way water reflects; not related to the actual design. (since I'm more of an artist than anything)

The designs as a whole is great though!
