Cover for "Like the Bird: The Legacy of Mrs. Belle Fennelly"

Christina Smith collected and transcribed 82 of Belle Fennelly’s tunes. I designed the 152 page book. It is spiral bound to lie flat for musicians but has a wrap around cover with spine to mimic traditionally bound book.

Save the Date

Save the Date announcement. I created the arrangement. Photographed it. And designed the announcement. Names and date have been modified to protect the privacy of the couple.
