    Kyrx

    Endorphin asked me to do a second project, and make a graphic for a W.I.P. single that is going on his upcoming album Still Missing You. The name of the single is obviously Kyrx. I have two versions:





    Some CnC - that's comments and (constructive) criticism, for the newbies - would be greatly appreciated.

    Not really one for visual art but I liked the first one better. Don't really like the redish tint. I would say have maybe a little more going on though, few more ripples in other directions...and if all else fails just use some lens flare...can't go wrong with lens flare.

      I forgot to mention this in the first post, but everything is all defaults. Everything but the font came with Photoshop, so it's 99% original; no downloaded brushes.

        I like the colors of the first one, but the second one has more definition if that makes any sense. I personally say go for the second one.

          The second one has more depth of color, so yes I know what you mean. Endorphin went with the first one, however. I was never sure which one I liked best, hence me keeping both versions.

              I liked both graphics, but the placement of the text and the choice of font does not fit the image.
              but hey, thats just my 2 cents lol. if the artist likes that as a cover, he should take it.

                Damnit. Now I'm getting conflicting opinions. This was a reply on another site I posted it on:

                I prefer the colours on the second, but otherwise the overall effect is well formed, and suitable.

                How do you go about generating that?

                text looks great too, btw.. it stands out, whilst not detracting attention away from the graphic.

                good job, that man.
                I don't see myself changing it any time soon, but I'd still like to hear your opinions on how it could be changed.

                  I would make it smaller, and choose a bit more basic and classy font. And possibly put it where there is hardly any light, like the top left corner or spread at the top (kind of like this: | k.....y.....r.....x | (where the | are the edges of the image)).
                  Right now, it feels that the text is kind of annoying to read cause of the overlay with the light.

                    Re: Kyrx

                    I had intended the effect to be the focal point, and moving the text out of it would detract from that feel. I never considered it to be hard to read, though.

                    I should probably get the link to the song from Endorphin and post it here so you can compare the song and the graphic.
