Edgar designs most of the TD album covers. When is he satisfied with the end product?

Answered by Administrator

Edgar studied arts and crafts in university and worked for a few years as a graphic designer before becoming a professional musician. This taught him to make his ideas real visually. The original idea was to give all the covers a certain identity that would be seen as a foundation for the label. Normally the cover is designed after the music has already been completed. Listening to the music while designing the cover is a way to get direct inspiration. The results are often spontaneous. Edgar works solely with the computer. Over the years he has developed a certain technique by using various software programs. If you look at album covers and other pieces of art you will see parts of an old collage and morphing technique – that’s what he prefers to work from.
