You can't just copy whats hip in design without thinking about what you do ? Design doesn't work like memes.
Pardon the poor resolution.
Back of album.

Mine from a while ago
tribute time
>>268908
just sooooooooooo hipster and ironic.
But I'd buy it. Great title.
>>268308
nice
>>268436
Tracklist needs a bit of work. Add numbers to the side and increase the space between Side A and the first track and do the same with Side B.
>>268449
nice
>>268451
nice
>>268475
nice but don't use that colour, or pick a font thats a bit heavier because now it's hard to read. You should also place your title in the centre so it doesn't feel stuck on the girl's shoe.
>>268543
Nice but you should've made "Child labor" as long as the title.
>>268558
nice
>>268718
real nice
>>268743
i like it
>>268841
There's a lot you should try and fix with this one. First, don't use pink when your working with monochromes it's considered a bit cheap. Second, try and find a font that fits your artists name font. Third, reduce the size of your title. part of it is cut of.
>>268912
very very nice
My first try. I used a picture from the same artist to make to back cover.
I do them as a stress relief so have some, I realise they're not really fancy or elaborated but critique is always welcome. I do realise I rely too much on withe text and I regret cropping part of the band name in the second one
>>268912
Nice job on this. What's the font?
First time here we go.
>>269150
"moneyflowindex" is way too little. Beside that it's pretty cool.
>>268398
I don't see why not.
Just a quickie for tonight.
Made two versions for this one.

>>268305
>>270049
not meant to be sarcastic actually good taste
alright here's another one
going for the early 70s look.
it's shit, I know. I just downloaded GIMP like 10 minutes ago
I'm very new to photoshop, how did I do?
only had paint and powerpoint not too harsh pls
senpai
>>271007
Oh wow nice not like that's a real album or anything
this style
>>270026
bad gradient wtf
was thinking sort of a celtic instrumental album they sell in checkout lines
>>270194
font is so bland, it looks amateurish.
>>271122
Make the knot smaller (to fit within the tree), so different (edgier) fonts and its a folk metal album.
>>271127
working along the whole tiny text lost in space thing
critique very welcome
Someone edit this plz.
roast me
>>268305
>>271276
1964 seems a bit misplaced, The Great Light looks like its got a Powerpoint font, the distortion is too cheesy
>>270653
nice, the tittle could be a bit more intgrated, if thats the right word. love the image and artist font 6.5/10
>>271292
what do you want?
>>271305
artist name doesnt attrack attention, why is Julius ceasar and his whole entourage seem a bit elongated. over all nice color scheme and concept. 7/10
>>271364

This is so fucking bad. What is the appeal of this thread? I guess if I open it I might find something halfass decent, but it will probably only be due to the luck of the photo anon landed upon. This is retarded. Newest on thread preview: >>271439
Paint.net? PAINT. DOT. NET. What the fuck is going on these days, holy shit.
I can't decide if this board is counterproductive or just plain horrific.

While I agree with you that most stuff posted on here isn't that great, who cares what programs people use? If you make something cool in your own way, that's all that matters
>>271618
Jesus.
Anyone who is anyone in the field of graphics arts wouldnt be caught dead posting shit here.
This thread is here to have fun and maybe get a few pointers on how to make your approach to layout better.
To see all this buthurt here is pathetic.
first try

Nice one
>>271793
this is nice
>>271896
i fuck your mom you little shit what the fuck this is not even close to tycho you made everything wrong get off my lawn dont talk to me or my son ever again
Critique me...be ruthless. It's the second time I've ever posted work.
>>271946
>>271896
the circle shit is fine and all, but band name shit and album title shit are clashing in the worst way possible.
I think the bottom one looks cool, but just doesn't work with the shit at the top.
>>272191
Literally a Pantera cover/10
just look at him and laugh
electronic hipster trash
i think is alright
I got lucky with the three I guess
Anyone who gets the reference for the album title is a cool guy.
Sadly this could be real
>>272929
Boring ass font on the cover
>>271793
what's the font? love this
rate pls
>>273290
The perspective of the buildings and the linear layout of the text really don't work together. I think if you maybe aligned the text in the perspective of the building it would be cool.
cause then it's not just a picture with text on it ya know?

there was one of these threads in /mu/ last night but it died pretty quick :^(
r8? 19 yo asshole here, dont kill me
>>274607
Im the poster above you and 19 as well.
It's not the worst one in this thread but it's just sort of transparent. the fonts you chose are kind of forgettable and the wavy text was creative and ambitious but it doesn't look great imho.
I'm sorry.
Gave it a try.
It's late.
Enjoy my math rock album.
Get it on Itunes and Bandcamp.
rate pls

this is amazing
Looks sad. Would anyone like to listen to this?

who postpunk here?
i thought i could have done better ;_;
>>275401
hey its a battery!
not random just fake
tell me what you think
>>275446
one of the better ones in this thread desu

i wish this was fucking real so badly
Crit me please!

I'd drop my needle in that groove
>>276482
Alternative
Standart
>>276482
the rising star being separated isn't really functional and looks really random. They feel weird up there too, the space between them could use some working on.
The alternative one is better but... I mean there's not much to really say about it.
The filter over the text looks cheap.
Maybe make the 'of' lowercase and script-like?

It's p gud, dude.
Feels like some oppressive ambient album that /mu/ circle jerks about ad nausuem .
>>276666
wow thanks friend! I was sort of trying to emulate the artwork done for 1080p and a lot of their stuff leans towards ambient so I'm happy that you felt that
first try
Complete newfag here. Any advice?
>>276788
Illegible.
White text on off-white flower is making the script difficult, the placement feels like a shot in the dark rather than having any thought put into it.
The text and the subject of the photo are fighting each other for attention rather than complementing each other.
This idea might work with a different font or maybe just different placement.
There definitely has to be contrast between the text and flower though.
