Music Artwork | LiftedPro

Albums · Singles · CD packaging · 2006–2026

Cover art and print packaging for releases on my own label, Lifted Productions, since 2006. I produce and mix the music too, so the sound and the cover come from one person. Early releases came out under my former artist name, Dante Jordan.

Role: Designer and art director
Tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, Fresco, InDesign

From art to print

Photo of printed jewel-case CDs beside a scaled tray card, booklet and disc template, with the Realism files built to fit — Print production: CD packages built to a duplicator's template, then printed and pressed.

Hand-painted canvas beside the finished album cover, a tray card, a disc and a close-up of the brushwork — The Other Side of Reality (2014): my painting on canvas, scanned and typeset as the cover, then carried through the tray card and disc.

Original BC landscape painting, the BCMC cover with the painting inside the letters, a vinyl mockup and a painting detail — BCMC (2019): I painted British Columbia from the peaks to the city, then used the title letters as windows into the painting.

Album and singles

Studio photo, two concept covers, a vector arm, a painted mountain-road background and the final cover — Soul On Sleeve (2022–23): two photo concepts, then a vector arm drawn in Illustrator over a background painted in Photoshop and Fresco.

Six single covers in a matching flat vector style — Soul On Sleeve singles: vector artwork drawn to match the album, so the releases sit together as one set.

Compilation

Vintage travel-poster style compilation cover with a ferry, cedars and a freight train, plus the instrumental edition and a boxcar detail — LIFTED 2020, redesigned in 2026: each guest artist gets a tag on the boxcars, so the title stays big and the credits still read at thumbnail size.
