Epilogue 

My honor has always been to work with talented photographers, illustrators, mentors, and numerous creatives to build an album jacket. I heard raw demos slipped to me in trust. Yet the best thing was to know and practice: We were designing for the dream of a musician and band that entrusted us to make them proud.

Thanks to All
