Category: product design Grade Level: 9-10

Description: In this project, I designed this media using Adobe Photoshop CS3. I used photos of my brother to put him in the picture. I used vectors to create all of the backgrounds and effects. The purpose of this was to promote a CD that my brother had made. He is a musician and I work for him as a designer for his albums. This were all made for that purpose to promote my brother and are actually used on his album. The images are to express the fact that there is a recession happening now, and he has the thoughts about it and lets them out through his music. All photos are copyrighted from my brother, Frank Gonzalez, and I have his permission to use them. If necessary you can contact him at poetikonline@yahoo.com. Music: “Epiphany”, from the CD Mental Recession, 2008, Record label R.S.I.N (real struggle is nameless); I collaborate with mybrother with the original music used in this project as well as being the graphic designer for the original art work on the three parts of a cd produced this year, 2008.On The Illustrated Art "NSK" stands for my company "NuSkull Kreationz" .

That is awesome that you have already started to tap into your ability to use your graphic skills to generate income and start your own business! I really liked how you used your graphics and color schemes to effectively create a cd cover that is being marketed for sale. I would have like to have heard more details on how you used the elements within CS3 to manipulate and create your cd cover. Great Job!
