Among the projects keeping me busy lately has been this CD cover for Jake Manning's new album. He came to the table with some strong ideas about what the look of the image ought to be and initially we went down the route of the classic scary B-movies before discovering it was a bit harsh for a folk album and dialling it back! We're both really pleased with the result.
Hopefully you've already spotted the guitar shape in the landscape, but what you probably don't know it that each of the elements you can see - the house, the winding path, the ghosts and the watery man trying to escape from his ocean - all appear in Jake's songs. He uses some fantastic imagery and crafting it into a story like this was probably my favourite part of the project.
