Tonight We Progress

Aug 25, 2008


Usually when I'm working on a project, the end result is pretty similar to my initial idea. However, that is not always the case. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story THE TALE OF TONIGHT WE RADIATE.

From the get go, Fallen From The Sky wanted something simple and timeless for the cover art. They were sick of everyone's cd being a bright illustration of an octopus and a tyrannosaurus rex battling it out over a monster truck rally. They were looking for something in the vain of the covers for Rage Against The Machine, Deftones, Foo Fighters, etc.

The first couple of attempts were based on photographs we had taken around Orlando.







After some discussion with the band, we changed the concept to something a little different.





(some color options)


So those were more on the right track, but they felt that it still wasn't iconic enough. They were looking for a strong image that could stand alone and still make people think of the album. After a little while we came up with this.



They were pretty stoked on this, but didn't want a skull to be the cover of the album. They felt skulls were getting a bit cliche and wanted to try something more. So running with the album name, we ended up with this for the final cover image.



At the end of everything, we were super duper stoked with how it came out. It looks nothing like the original image we had, but I think that is for the best.
