love it. nice record label, too.

You need to incorporate the text into the image and edit the imagery so that it all looks cohesive. Otherwise it looks like shitty word art slapped on top of a random photo.

Yes. People itt who have never designed covers before think it's all about the typeface, but they're completely wrong. The image and the composition is what sell a cover, everything else is just a support.

>>232718
this one is better.
i think it could be improved if the type wasn't such a stark white... give it a cream/yellow color like the cone's wrapper appears to have on it. also add some noise. it will help it meld better with the supporting imagery.

you could also center the cone, enlarge it just a bit and place the bright white type directly on top of it.
