With the holiday season upon us it’s time for lights, food, family, shopping­ (ugh!) and, of course music. The holiday season has its own visual style that is applicable to design projects pretty much once a year.</p>
<p>That recognizable visual style of the season makes these holiday albums a nice change of pace for us. Bighouse collaborated with Rich Mays at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sonarerecordings.com/" target="_blank">Sonare Recordings</a> on these albums. We worked to keep the feeling of the holidays represented in the design as well as incorporating elements unique to the venue of each concert.</p>
<p>“Sounds of the Season” was created for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.savcds.org/" target="_blank">Savannah Country Day School</a> choruses in Savannah, GA. The design is meant to be imaginative and magical.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dpchurch.org/" target="_blank">Decatur Presbyterian</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dpchurch.org/" target="_blank"> Church</a>, in Decatur, GA, titled their holiday concert “The Marvel of This Night. We wanted to incorporate the beautiful stained glass window adorning the church into the design and then decided to take an abstract approach to the lights of the season for the background art.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://savannahnow.com/node/634354" target="_blank">Nele Ewaldsen</a> is the pianist for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.elcota.org/tp42/page.asp?ID=76857" target="_blank">Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Savannah, GA</a>. She heads the church’s Christmas concert, <a title="Ewaldsen finds 'Jubilation,' and you can get it, too" rel="nofollow" href="http://savannahnow.com/node/634354" target="_blank">Jubilation</a>. This project was on a tight deadline. The church window was used for the design — both as it appears and edited digitally and used as the back ground pattern.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.stphilipschurchsc.org/spce/welcome" target="_blank">St. Philip’s church in Charleston</a> was in need of packaging for Christmas  performance, Song’s of the Angels. St. Philip’s has a number of sculpted angels in the church that were perfect for album art. We worked with the client to get the highest quality photos of the church interior for the design and paired them up with a rich, warm red evocative of the season. Pour the eggnog and press play.</p>
