Album Design of the Year (Sponsored by Ever-Reddy Packaging)

Director Garnet Armstrong and designer Susan Michalek won a JUNO nomination last year for their design on Holly McNarland's "Home Is Where My Feet Are." Their design for Jann Arden's CD reaffirms their skill. Photographer Andrew MacNaughtan is also up for a JUNO for Best Music DVD this year.

Benjamin Fong directed, designed and illustrated the Handmade artwork. Formerly in the band Big Picture, he has worked with such artists as Lennie Gallant, The Rankins and Natalie MacMaster. Halifax-based Janet Kimber is an editorial and commercial digital photographer.

Ingram Barss is a Halifax-based photographer who contributes to The Coast. Jenn McIntyre directed, designed, illustrated, and took some of the photography for the Buck 65 album.

Director/designer Megan Oldfield received a CCMA Award nomination for her work for The Ennis Sisters, and her Coolaide Design company has a fine reputation. Jon Claytor illustrated the design for Battle of the Nudes, and Richard Beland did the photography. Richard is recognised as one of Canada's best rock photographers, and he shot for The Tragically Hip's In Violet Light album.

Toronto-based album designer and creative director Michael Wrycraft has designed well over 300 CD covers, often for Canadian roots artists. He has received four previous JUNO nominations, winning once. Clients have included Gordon Lightfoot, Jane Siberry, Bruce Cockburn and John Cage. Michael also acted as executive producer for Jubilee. The photographic work on the album is by Kevin Kelly.
