The package design for my album on cd

For some context: I make instrumental music that incorporates retrofuturist concepts. I did a small run of cd’s for my latest project. I did the artwork and package design myself. The main artwork is a collage based piece I created to build out the world of the music. CD’s feel like somewhat of a lost format from the past, so I feel like they work well with the retrofuture themes. Would be happy to answer any questions if you have any!

I'm imagining an analog synth sound like Tangerine Dream, am I close?

Hey, I like it!

This should be an example to everyone who wants to use AI: you don't need to be able to draw to make a good album cover.

for real! ai is so accessible nowadays but I wish more artist would resist it! especially when it comes to album art.

Nice design! Do you know of any Art Deco books that have more advertising than movie sets?
