Celtic Woman
CD cover
The CD cover was done with mixed media. The Celtic knot and the watercolor painting were both done with traditional mediums. Blue background with watercolor and the Celtic knot with dark pencil. Afterwards they were taken into Photoshop and manipulated digitally. CD cover is a complementary color scheme. Rhythm and repetition is created with the Celtic knot and frames the face of the woman that is on many of the Celtic women album covers and also frames the logo and title of the album. While I used a picture from a piece of promotional art, to adhere to ethical image use I changed the coloration, the transparency, and made it appear as a part of the watercolor painting that I made, and I also used only a small portion of the picture.
