SCRAPBOOK
PROJECT STORY
"Scrapbook" is a comprehensive 431-page coffee table book detailing the personal and photographic history of the band Chicago. Featuring over 1,000 images, many previously unseen, the book offers an intimate look into the band's journey from 1967 to 2020. Designed entirely by me in Adobe InDesign, from cover to page layouts and liner notes, it organizes the band's history month by month, showcasing their evolution, camaraderie, and milestones in meticulous chronological order.
In 2023, a second edition was added to catalog the band's activities and developments post-COVID-19 Pandemic.
Chicago xxxvii: Chicago Christmas 2019
PROJECT STORY
Chicago XXXVII: A Chicago Christmas is the 37th album from Chicago. Designed with the knowledge that the band has a storied and stable image that has held true since their inception in 1967, the cover needed to have the look and feel that it's long time fans know and love. The cover was designed to look like Christmas wrapping paper in order to make this album feel like a gift to the fans. Most important was making sure their classic logo was front and center, something that has been prominent in now 33 of their 37 studio albums.
CHICAGO: GREATEST CHRISTMAS HITS 2023
PROJECT STORY
For the holiday collection featuring songs from all three of Chicago's beloved Christmas albums, I designed the album cover to reflect the festive spirit and timeless appeal of the band. The cover art combines elements of classic holiday imagery with Chicago's iconic style, creating a visually striking design that celebrates the season. By integrating festive colors and motifs, the cover captures the essence of the collection’s yuletide favorites and pays tribute to Chicago’s signature sound.
GRAMMY CONSIDERATION
PROJECT STORY
In 2018, Chicago sought to have their second studio album, *Chicago II*, inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. I was tasked with creating a graphic that referenced the album’s iconic cover for the submission.
BAND PICTURE
PROJECT STORY
In 2019, the band took casual, candid photos with their new lineup for their annual signature sheet. However, none of the 7-10 shots had all members facing the camera. I was tasked with combining these images to create a cohesive look where each member appeared to be facing the camera or at least clearly visible.
