Paula Rhae McDonald CD Package

Santa Fe local songbird Paula Rhae McDonald came to us to design a CD jacket for her musical departure from country music into the world of blues.

​

During our design consultation, Paula remarked "Well, I want people to know it's me, but a different side of me."

​

Working within a tight budget, we sifted through Paula's Facebook pictures to save money on a formal photo shoot, and choose a cool shot of Paula from behind - wearing her signature cowboy hat, and long flowing hair falling out from underneath.  Painting out the background of the image and applying various Photoshop filters, we created a striking cover image of Paula surrounded by the suggestion of smoke.  In short, it's Paula...but a different side of Paula.
