Trance CD design

About 15 years ago a friend who worked in a club asked me to design his mix cd's. This was when Trance was relatively new and not known yet. Also there was no such thing as shutterstock. All graphics had to be created in Adobe Illustrator.

Being a graphic designer is not just one job; it is 20 jobs in one. I learned this during my first freelance job as a graphic artist. This is 1 in a series of many CD designs commissioned by a local DJ, back when Trance and Dance music was still new. Using titles from chosen tracks and photos from his library, this was the first of many CDs in the 2 year long contract.
