Always make your album covers square.

where do you guys find the parental advisory images?

Good god, why are those threads unactive? I'll try to bring them back to life with some other creations.

>>298009
probably because people got bored, i've conributed to like 30 of these threads since this board was born, so im kinda burned out on em

It's a good exercise for people who are learning tho.

its my first time

>>297858
Very poor choice of type and letter size considering the creepy image and angry title, I think
I woul've done something like a sidebar in hairline type, maybe with different weights for band and tile for contrast.
I think in this case the image speaks for itself and already gives a pretty good idea of what the album would be about so laying the title in the center with such a funky style and big size kinda kills the effect for me

>>297013
>>297289
>>298010
>>298011
snooze cruize incredibly uninspired trash. Fonts appear to be chosen at random with no concept of balance/cohesion and the images are either bland or underedited.
>>296840
I really like this, glad I'm not the only person putting stupid barcodes on things
>>296844
Not a fan of the font on the bottom. Maybe decrease the size and keep it on a single line? Other than that it's good.
>>296893
I really like this, again except the font. Is that impact?
>>296906
>>296908
>>296911
The fixed one is much better but both are nice imo. I'm usually not into inverted colored but I think you pulled it off well. Ignore what the other anon said, his crit was shit.
>>296910
This is fantastic IMO, really digging the colors and font choice.
>>296976
Nice, good colors and a nice use of a border
>>296989
Some minor legibility issues, and the Admirality Bay font isnt too great imo, especially since the first letters of each word are larger. but the rest is fire.
>>297017
I dig it, I even kinda like the font although I think a serif font might be nicer.
>>297175
loving this, what's the source pic?
>>297236
anon its not a square
>>297238
much better, I really like what you did here, feels retro new wave-esque
>>297292
colors are fire, font is fire, border is fire, parental advisory is fire, I really like this one.
>>297366
Looks great, but i'd remove the top and bottom lines.
contd

>>297371
The pic alterations are kinda gross looking desu, and I don't think the effects on the font look good. Also I don't really see any strong color play going on.
>>297385
anon I don't think you are getting this
>>297437
god damn amazing
>>297442
Good besides the legibility issues.
>>297493
Really like this one, what's with the exclamation mark though?
>>297550
SQUARE
>>297575
cool the contrast, noise, and saturation a bit. Also I'm not a fan of the fonts.
>>297601
I like it, not sure how well it suits the music because I haven't heard it, but it looks nice.
>>297635
Back looks a bit odd but the front is nice. What's the deal with the mismatched sizing?
>>297858
light legibility issues, not too fond on the font or the drop-shadow-esque layering but the image itself is nice.
>>297879
>>297884
Mine if you guys want to shit on it
>>298009
probably should have thrown this in with the snooze cruize boredom express. I hate the font and I hate the border. The image itself would have been a nice cover, with something handdrawn in the center/around it to fit.
>>298014
Love the pic, not a huge fan of the fonts.
>>298025
Remove the bottom text, make the top a bit more noticeable and it's gold IMO.

>>296906
>>296908
>>296911
Didn't mean to throw those on the boring section

>>298054
Whew. Thx anon. You almost damaged my self esteem

>>298107

I did these both a long time ago when I was just getting into gd. They aren't great but I was happy with them.

I'm really curious as to what I did wrong. I feel like the alignment of the text is kinda... off somehow? I dunno.

>>299036
yeah, it's unbalanced lad. Mason Welsh Gross on it's own is set tastefully, 'non-believer' disturbs the balance in a big way. It looks like you just shoved it in as an afterthought wherever there was space.

also it's the same size, similar colour, all caps, basically no contrast to Mason Welsh Gross looks indecisive and lazy again.

find a way to integrate 'non-believer' with that layout aesthetic you've got going for 'mason welsh gross', or abandon this layout and re-set the type considering all parts.

>>299036
>>299037
k this kinda sounds harsh,
It goes without saying i'm proud you're actually taking part in the exercise, putting yourself out there, asking for crit, etc.

>>299037
I was kind of thinking along those same lines, but couldn't quite figure out how to place "Non-Believer" in a way that made cohesive sense. I really appreciate it, my dude.
>>299038
If I couldn't handle real criticism I wouldn't've asked for it, homie. Don't you worry about hurting my fee fees.
