That's the idea, keep playing with it. I was thinking of some larger more sprawling graffiti on the layer under the poster. The “c” word takes one “aback” a bit, but if the band uses it in their lyrics then go ahead and “offend” us girly type!! Also the thing you added to the bottom makes it look unbalanced, so either add more stickers and posters to look like a flyer wall at a club, or don’t use that. But these are just my humble opinions. It is your work so play with it till you find something you like.

Your reasonsing about the spine bleeding onto the front and back covers makes sense.

The spine thing, yes its 55 pixels wide, I just chose to let it connect the front and back by the black, because in the past I printed covers and the spine was almost on front while it should be where it should be, so its to give it some margin so to say

I use a template for my DVD covers, which has the spine outlined, and then when I finish the cover I "hide" the layer with the guidelines on it so there's no white pixels fucking with the look of the cover. I've attached the PSD template I use below.


Looks like a great cover man. :rock:

Although I liked the idea of the wall with the poster and grafitti, this front looks way too cool. I would make some changes to the font because it is the same color as the band's boots and might be hard to read

Ever finish your cover man? It was looking pretty cool.

[Kathlib the Prophet]

Alright, well I went ahead and added the two finished covers you posted in this topic, one as an alternate. If there's a problem with that just let me know.

Not at all, just severly doubting my skills as a cover art creator..

Nah, you're fine man. Practice makes perfect.
