Kirk Ward “Guardian Grace” CD

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Project
Kirk Ward approached me to design a 4-panel Digipak for his new release. Kirk wanted to be sure that his CD would not blend in with all the other Christian music CDs in the racks – bringing to the surface that this CD is as much about the Urban Church Community as it is about rejoicing in Jesus Christ.

Solution
I wanted to start by pushing the colors and textures to the other end of the spectrum from what is “expected” of a Christian music CD. However, to keep the artwork in context, I used imagery of the cross, but I wanted to maintain that “Urban Church” feel that Kirk desired, so I tracked down some neon church signs to bring it all home.

CD Design for Kirk Ward

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I recently met with Kirk Ward – song writer, guitarist, worship leader, and the music director for New City Fellowship in St Louis, to design the packaging for his new CD. Kirk is finishing up recording at Sawhorse Studios with the help of Jacob Detering, Joe Meyer, Eric Grossman, Ryan McMillen, R.Scott Bryan, and Kirk’s father, James Ward. The CD is a collection of 12 songs, born out of his past 5 – 6 years in worship ministry, and reflects Kirk’s passions for music, culture, community, church and the call for justice and mercy that’s found in scripture.

More details to come. In the mean time, listen to a few of Kirk’s tracks on his MySpace page.
