Soda Jerk Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I dig lo-fi photographs as album covers, but I am also a font-bastard. That is a grim font. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah, not my best work in restrospect. Still haven't been able to figure out what the blue and white stuff running down the side of the photo is either. Also, in the original photo you can see that she's in bare feet, which for some reason makes it seem that much cooler. I covered it with the writing.

Flights Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Looking back at the cover I posted with the wifey pooping. Why does she have her shoe in her hand?To keep on topic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Album art with no letters is boss.I agree with this, but putting no writing on your album art is exclusively if you already have a good amount of marketing for the album - if someone doesn't know what your band is called looking at the cover they're not going to just pick up the record and give it a go anyway, are they?Although this is pretty much moot given most music purchasing is done online with obvious artist names/album titles. Even offline this is rendered a moot point with stickers on the cellophane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I totally forgot that one, that's a brilliant album cover.There's also this, which is nice:(and yes, Jake, it has no artist name on it, but it both came with a sticker and was by a fairly prolific artist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't CDs in HMV still stored in alphabetic order by artist, with a little divider telling you that all of the CDs in that section are by the named artist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artwork is still ace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
