Maria-Mania! This is a CD I made for my friend Maria, a collection of songs that remind me of her, or things we've done, or things we like. It's all about the moon, friendship, and dreaming. This CD's practically a fixture in my car's CD cartridge. To make this cover, I used a photo of some peaches and modified it in Photoshop so the peaches looked a little blurry and fuzzy. I also used a colored pencil art effect. Then I took that file over into Illustrator and put the title on the front of the CD. I made the title run along the edge of one of the peaches, and made each letter a different color. I wanted it to look festive! The title itself (Maria-Mania!) works well for the concept of the CD, but it's also a pun on Maria's name. And the peaches are pretty but they're also an old joke, something about Mulder and Krycek, if memory serves. :-) Anyway, she loved the CD. And I love it too. See below for cover art and playlist:
