The final album artwork combined cover images from Adobe Stock using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
The cover art image included an anatomical heart, crown of thorns, blood, and fog. An anatomical heart was used to draw emotion and shock from the viewer; an image that they may not expect to see. In Christianity, the figurative placement of where an individual’s heart is in the faith is essential. Not only was there a heart, but a crown of thorns was wrapped around the heart, piercing it, causing blood to flow from the heart. The crown of thorns was used to represent the crown of thorns that was placed around Jesus Christ’s head during his crucifixion. The crucifixion of Christ is an awe-striking moment in history and is completely moving. The presentation of a shocking image such as an anatomical heart and a crown of thorns representing the crucifixion is compelling. The design was created to make the viewer feel emotion deeply. Believers should have unwavering faith flowing from their hearts as Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for their souls. This represents the album title Unshaken. Fog was used as an accent in the background to create depth and draw the viewer's attention to the central image.
