hi katatonia maniacs!

the brave murder day vinyl layout is about to be finished and i'd like to get
some opinions on the design and mainly the way the lyrics are printed.

here we have two options:

- either a font similar to the one used for the cd (if anyone can name me
that particular font and perhaps send it to me that would be appreciated!)
and a plain text style as it was in the cd booklet

- or a handwriting font and the lyrics written poem-like

i've started with the 2nd option so here's some low-quality pics of the layout
as it looks atm, feel free to give your opinions and recommendations!

(please take into account that a cd-like design with bigger fotos is no option
due to the limited quality of the present files)

thanx in adavnce,

torsten / northern silence prod.

thats a shame :( I would like to see it as most close to original CD layout as possible
 
It would be awesome to see a very close reproduction of the original CD layout with the large size of a vinyl, but it seems that's not possible. Anyway, I would be for a layout that approaches the one that the CD had. It would be even cooler to see it on clear purple vinyl...:grin:
 
I would like to see the cover as it is in the picture without the purple original cover square. It just seems to throw the look of it off (IMHO). But I would rather it be the way the band wants it to be than how I want it to be. It is their domain and I think their voice should be the only one heard. Thanx for givin us all a preview though, thats super cool of you. :worship:
