This was a CD cover and inlay created for the Mt. Hood Jazz Band using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS4. For the design, the intent was to capture the feel of jazz within the cover-raw, edgy and underlying elegance. The music notes used in the design are adapted from one of the tracks “Georgia On My Mind”.

I created a complete visual package including logo, stationery, and three magazine ads as well. The logo was created in a way to convey a positive look, with fun and vibrant colors. The magazine ads were to take a soft hearted look at how times have changed, highlighting three important issues within our schools.

Free Fonts! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Smashingmagazine.com has some links to 15 high-quality free fonts available for download. Some are pretty decent, most notably MISO.
MISO *insert "Full Metal Jacket" reference here*
It seems I recall seeing more uses of MISO of late. Could this be the new “Helvetica”? Okay, okay, that’s a high pedestal to achieve from a free font, but I have a feeling you’ll probably see more MISO in your future if you haven’t already. Any other’s you feel should have honorable mention from their list? Let me know!
