Ventana is the solo debut CD from jazz guitarist, Ken Karsh.
We designed a package that embraced the style of the black & white photography reminiscent of the classic Blue Note album covers while incorporating that imagery into a modern design. A color palette of blues and pinks and purples blended together in overlapping vertical strips makes up the overall design scheme. This was a visual interpretation of harmony, musicality, and blending of sounds present in the music as well as a way to symbolically mimic the lines and shape of guitar strings. The "Ken Karsh" logotype of the CD's front cover was hand drawn to compliment the lined design theme as well as match the other illustrative elements of overall packaging.
The guitar illustration on the CD and the inner tray was hand drawn rendering of the CDs front cover.
