Description EDIT: I messed with the text a bit, and I think it's better... what'cha think?

My NEW entry for 's CD Cover Contest [link]
Entered in the 'Beginner' level, unless they see fit to move it up - I wasn't sure where to put it, so I chose beginner. I sure didn't feel intermediate while making this. Damn hard. XD)

Because I was not in any way enjoying trying to make the first one awesome enough XD This one was actually fun, not to mention better.

This is an album cover for a punk/metal/rock band that my brother and I plan to start, once we learn to play some intruments (he plays guitar, and I'm gonna sing and play piano or bass, not sure which)

The band is called 'No Artist Found', because that's what my MP3 player says whenever it doesn't know the name of a band, and the album is called 'Angels We Have Heard', although that may or may not be the real title when we actually produce said album

Whatcha think? Anything it needs?


There are so many AMAZING entries - I don't know how they'll possibly be able to choose

Model by ~DeAtHBuTtErFly-stock [link] | Textures by *dazzle-textures [link] ~SheisprettyStock [link] ~SolStock [link] and me (my texture isn't all that noticable, but it's there ) | Headphones (can't see them that well but they're there) ~stocknrg [link] | Speakers by ~yggdrasil [link] | Splatter brushes by ~mcbadshoes [link] | Music-y brushes by ~dead-brushes [link] | Bird brushes by ~thiselectricheart [link] | Parental advisory thing nabbed off of google, figured that wouldn't be a big deal *shrug*

I like it!

If anything, the typeface doesn't really fit in well with the surroundings, it seems out of place and sort of just chucked in.

Other then that, it's great. Good luck!

Thank you very much!

Yeah, I agree about the typeface - I just wasn't sure what else to do with it. I always get bad reactions when I try to used lame filters and such XDD

Well, the main problem is that it's hard to make out above the background.

What I normally do (and what I did in my own entry to the contest) was to duplicate the type-face layer, and attack one of them with a Gaussian Blur. That way, the 'glow' from behind the letters sort of spreads itself out, and forms around the letters, and tends to make the words stand out above the rest of the picture a bit more.

As for yours though, such an effect might not work.

If you want advice for it, I'd suggest several duplicate layers for the words, and messing around with all but one of them (messing about:blurring, stretching, rotating, giving cool rainbow gradients, making them look all-round silly, etc) - then changing the opacity of all but the original, unedited layer to set the edits back a bit. That could work to create more emphasis on the words, and make them look like they fit in a bit more...

who knows- could work.

Good luck with the contest, regardless.

Thank you!

Yeah, I don't know if I could stand being a judge in a contest I couldn't possibly make myself choose between all the entries!

Thank you!

That crumpled texture, weirdly enough, was made by overlaying a photo of my hair when it was all wavy
