CD designnnn Options

[lovescream]

A project we did at school: to create an album cover/back for an existing band.

I created a mixed CD since I asked and my teacher allowed me to.
I did this around May of 09, so last school yr >____<"

Posting this up now b/c I'm bored and have not posted anything on here in quite a while. :)




+ ah, I just realised the text is kinda hard to read :| oh sadface.

c&c on anything and such to improve for future projects of this year? :)

I think, just to go with the flow of the style, the bubbles should have some sort of texture, or have a bit of a Gaussian blur, or even just set them to overlay. Really cute though :D

I agree with ^ and also try a glow on the type on the front.
It would make the city lights stand out more.

Font should be in a stronger colour on the front; the bubbles look a bit out of place. Fonts don't match so well on the back cover. I really like the way the images were edited on the front, and on the back, but separately. They don't seem to go together though.

omg, i miss you toby.<3

anyways, i think the orbs on the front cover should be a bit smaller and definitely add that glamor glow to it. the city photo looks really breath taking, so try to make the viewers stay aware of the picture instead of the huge text.. i say you should change the whole text and try to make the text flow much better and blend in..

for the back cover, there's not much to critique. i wish the text writing wasn't so big though for the list of tracks. the text really kills the background view of the city, and that is the subject, right? remove the text, and use the pen tool. there's an odd curvy shadowy line near the grass. take the advantage and place your text there. make the font small, but still readable. you should also leave some spaces for each track so they won't be clustered.

haha i remember when you showed me this!

really really love the back cover. i don't think i can complain too much about anything there.

front cover.. i like the picture of the city, but i'm not really feelin the font and bubbles. :[ i remember telling you about this too, but you said you had to work with the fonts on your school computers? haha

[lovescream]

^ yeahh lol. wasn't allowed to install any fonts back then T______T failureee.

Like always, I agree with Gabrielle lol. But yeah I'd definitely edit the bubbles and font (effects).
