My Album Artwork
Jimor:
The font works ok for me, but the sidebars just seem too "clean" for the overall look. Perhaps textured like that black and red album cover from the other thread? Is there a way to add "noise" to that area (background and text) with your software? Just a small touch might do it.

I support this.

The title is pretty cheesy, but that's not what you asked about so whatever. It looks pretty solid, actually. If I just sort of saw this cover among many it wouldn't really make me want to buy it, but I don't know that I'd like your music either. However, I am pretty sure that there is a certain sort of person to whom this would look like an awesome album cover, and who would probably love to bits music that is accurately described by this image.

Most of the music written for it has been slower, more downbeat acoustic work. The title...yeah, I probably should change it - it just worked for the moment as that is what the actual photograph is called. I'll probably change it later on.

Yeah, I'll consider that.
--- Quote from: Melodic on 24 Jun 2009, 11:44 ---That font is really not the font you want to use. Perhaps it is too big! I think I'd rather you have all of the text, and the block, on one side: this would allow you to shrink the font and keep a minimalistic approach without sacrificing the dimensions of the image. And the drop-shadow/fuzzy fade between the black and the photo shouldn't exist. Make it solid, purposefully contrasting.

No it is not the font I want and I am having troubles finding one to sate my desires. And I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
Bloody hell, back to the drawing board.

I have a couple of friends who are graphic designers, and I've done enough of it for some of my own projects to appreciate that even a "simple" job is a lot more work than most people realize. You're definitely on the right track, and when you find the combo that works for you, I think you'll feel very satisfied with the result.
Zingoleb:
Well, I've nixed on cropping the image, have put the black text to one side, added a small bit of noise to the background...right now it's mostly trying to find a font and text arrangement that is suitable.
