Nickel Creek is an American music trio. In 2002, the band released thier fourth album, This Side. It was a departure from their previous releases, which were purely bluegrass, to a more progressive acoustic sound. For this reason, I used several contrasting elements in the front and back covers. The tree on the front represents the bands growth and expansion into a new style of music. The sun and moon on the back represent how the band uses both styles cohesively. I centered the song list inside the sun because it had a pleasing visual effect. I created the Motion Records logo using simple shapes in a creative way. Both designs were done in Photoshop.
