Final, final artwork aslong as the band doesn't hate it.
This has been printed out and mocked up with a blank CD and case and it actually looks pretty good, it takes a lot to make me happy with something i've done so hopefully this will go down well with the client.
I will get some pics of the CD case to give you all an idea of how it looks.
There was a little nightmare when i realised the orientation of the back and spines was wrong which meant i had to re-organise all the type to keep everything in the right place. Just waiting for the actual track list and copyright info which just need to be typed in.
Now i can move onto another project :)
After going back over this piece i can't helping getting over the fact that it needs refinement but i can't for the life of me work out what i need to do to it.
As a font, i find Garamond Pro a little unnecessary for this but it was one of the few things the band really wanted so i was limited to what i could do there. I think my main issue may be with the parchment background, while there is nothing immediately wrong with it i think it could have a little more going on with it. It looks almost like an afterthought which is sad because it really wasn't.
Next album cover i design will definitely have a more involved background if the band allow it.
All in all, i really enjoy designing album covers and i definitely want to do more in this area.
