are there any other music cover designers/artists on this board

[goatschool]

that can inform me on how best to drive a 9" nail through my eye?

 

[Baliset]

what happened?

 

[goatschool]

i'm struggling to give this thread content, i really am.

nothing happened greg. i'm just fighting a cover that doesn't want to exist.

i'm tempted to post what i have but i don't know how secure this board is from wandering eyes...

 

[Baliset]

i hope you win the fight.

if its a work in progress maybe wait to post it. i am not sure how secure the board is either.

Im a painter.. does that count? When all else fails add more black and red.

 

[avi]

less is more.
or maybe try some of Eno's oblique strategies.

 

[Novembers Paul]

Im a designer. That pretty much what i do for a living. You can email it to me if you like.

 

[goatschool]

likewise paul.

this would be the third or fourth CD in a row where i am faced with designing an identity around a single, fuzzy picture of a painting. i'm too old for this.

not only that, but the band liked what i did w/ the scraps of ideas they gave me last time around so much, that they decided to give me even less this time.

so paul, can you recommend a good hammer?

 

[goatschool]

avi i wish less was more w/ metal.

 

[goatschool]

chrome this imagery is orange, black and red.

 

[FrostGiant]

I found that a 16 ounce hammer really does the trick.

chrome this imagery is orange, black and red.

Then my comment still stands... more black and red... I love blue, black and red.. you end up with a pretty creepy looking purple sort of tone... It fades in the back real nice and makes the red marks come alive! (I said COME ALIVE!)
