Not sure if I like the letters jutting into each other as they are or if it'd look better if I manually made it so the loose ends matched up.

clean, simple concept, effects are nice but the back is just the same picture flipped which is kinda boring.

for example of this idea done right check out BoC's Tomorrow's Harvest.

back cover. All "song" names are wikipedia article names.
Again, would have done better on PC. I tried getting the words and numbers aligned to their own columns but touch gestures are inaccurate and made the two columns have different sizes. I got as close as I could though.

Also the font choice in this app is pretty shidty.

>>280571
Ah shit. I just realized I saved it as jpeg. Welp.

>>280577
I personally don't like the text of effect on "Hesoid"
I think it might look more like an album if you used the same font as the album title and put it at the very top center

This. Maybe on top of reversing the image as an overlay for the text, blur the overlay so you get crisp edges but blurriness underneath.

>>282510
The title is good but I think you could benefit from a better font for the album title. Also adjust the leading a little in the title, and I think that would be an improvement in itself : )

>>281901

p gud, the 2 photos compliment each other nicely. But like the other anon said, the border could be trimmed a bit, and a different color might more interesting

>>282521
by title do you mean "no one steps forward"? i'm confused because you use this word three times and on the one hand you say it's good but on the other hand i need to improve it.

Why does /gd/ have such a massive hardon for squares? It's the /gd/ version of orange+blue movie posters. I challenge every single one of you to not include a border and/or not include a square in your next attempt.

7/10 i like the colors but the proportions seem off everything seem a little too big there's not much space in the borders and the bird in the middle could look really good with some brush strokes outside the shape so it doesn't seem 'cut out' clipping masked plus the font choice could be better.
