Instant album art 5

I am going to have to stop doing these! I have spent ages doing them now! This might be the last one I do for a while, but I have enjoyed making them none the less!



Right thats it for a while!

I'm going to cook dinner.

Ok, this is a sickness!



Would this be more or less interesting if I included the original image aswell?

I need a shower!

I have become obsessed with doing this! Meet number 3!



I wanted this one to feel a little abstract hip hop in style, kinda DJ Shadow or something to that effect? I don't know. The band name was M D Live Care, which is just incredible!

I think the best thing that has come from this has been learning about playing with text more and how to make it sit better.

Anyways, I should go to bed!

I like doing these, it is an interesting challenge and it proves that you can stomp the cover of a CD in 45 minutes with a strong image and a clear vision! I know, I know, I spend way more time on things when I do them professionally as there is more concern to resolutions, visual representation....

So yeah, here is another.



With a band name like Crassispira Trimariana, it was great to have an image that involved stars, as it does sound like the name of a constellation!

Lie to Me is back on!

Potential Shirt...

I wanted to do a design that one colour, simple and would be no problem to get printed in a hurry, so I did this, I have no idea if it will get used as I finished it and sent it with no consideration of whether or not it was going to be used!

It was my hope to make a design that would work as a dark colour on a light shirt and as a light colour on a dark shirt. Did I hit the mark?





and finally a better view of the artwork.



The band are on Bombed Out Records, hence the hand grenade. I hope they like it and it gets printed!

Right, back to work.

Something different...

Another poster for The Croft, this was a weird one as I accidentally did something that would have been perfect for a venue I have never heard of! Strange really, it will have a great use elsewhere, so its no worries!

This poster was half looking at a tutorial and half doing my thing. I am trying to improve and do something different you see, it's called self improvement and I like it!

The headline band are called Dead to Me, so it seemed fairly obvious what I should do.



Any guesses what the tutorial was? We'll just say B Movie horror.

There is more to come.

You know the drill, well if you don't where have you been? Random wiki, random quote, random flickr, piece it together, in an interesting fashion!

I had a lovely random photo, which was a great start!

My band name was, Juno Award, its an award to do with jazz, and my quote was "meet again in life".

I got lucky I guess.



Quite an easy task with the picture, it screamed arty indie, as did the name, so I did my thing to the photo to make it more interesting and then added the text. I think it went quite well!

Real work to do!
