Need an Album Cover 45k up for grabs

**hi_top** · 10-9-2009, 10:53 PM

Hello FFR community, I am here requesting a Cd Cover for my first album, it is an acoustic instrumental album.

The Name I have come up with is: Looking Past The Words.

Now, I need my name on it: Jesse Noel-Rickard

The album name on it: Looking Past The Words

As to the actual graphic, I will leave that up to you, I will pay up to 45k credits for a good piece of artwork, must be 300 dpi. I am unaware of the dimensions of a standard jewel case so I will leave that for you to find out as well.

Most of my songs are slow and melodic, if that helps in your decision for a graphic or design in any way.

Thank you and I hope to get some replies on this.

Edit: Please post stating you are working on this.

The only time I'll ever do this, Bump

I don't understand what you mean by 300dpi but i think the typical album cover is like 500X500 Pixels. When you need it by?

**hi_top** · 10-10-2009, 03:07 PM

300 dpi is 300 dots per inch as in high resolution. the standard jewel case is 4 in X 4.175 in so at 300 dpi that should be 1200 X 1253

no time frame just within the week

Xx{Midnight}xX · 10-10-2009, 03:08 PM

I might give this a shot.

**hi_top** · 10-10-2009, 03:10 PM

I hope so, I need a cover for my CD lol.

PAGESTRETCH
Done, not sure if you like it:

Dimensions and dpi as requested.

Btw: Looks great in print size 4XX times 4XX

(not pixel-y like this at all)

**hi_top** · 10-10-2009, 10:14 PM

That looks really good I like it, will wait another day or two for other submissions but thanks for at least attempting it

**makdaddy** · 10-11-2009, 12:19 AM

I always do at least 1000dpi hahahahahaha

**Mollocephalus** · 10-11-2009, 01:21 AM

lol makdaddy i hope you're trolling because that sounds like elite graphical sophistication with no apparent reason. human eye cannot decipher the difference between a 1000 dpi image and, say, a 300 dpi one.

also the album art is pretty good background-wise but white outer glow no thanks and fonts are terrible.

**hi_top** · 10-11-2009, 02:26 AM

Well this is still open so anybody can work on one you have a chance at 45k

**Mollocephalus** · 10-11-2009, 02:30 AM

if you gave out a link or something related to what your music sounds like, people wouldn't be doing generic graphical garbage, unless they're just bad at doing it and you will indeed get generic graphical garbage.

you said your songs are slow and melodic, but that doesn't tell me too much (planning to work on this) - i personally cannot come up with anything out of the blue when it comes to graphics. every line, color, shade and font is specifically intended for the work it has to be related with.

the first 3 songs will be on the cd

**Mollocephalus** · 10-11-2009, 04:14 AM

**Mollocephalus** · 10-11-2009, 04:15 AM

relevant info about this:

photography by me
color profile= CMYK
size= 13x13 cm (cds are 12x12 but 5 mm each side are for tollerance)

(if you're gonna get this printed by professionals, i'll send you the pdf file)

**hi_top** · 10-11-2009, 04:20 AM

I see nothing

who_cares973 · 10-11-2009, 04:52 AM

really cool cover necros

hi_top go to quote his post and just copy the url

**Mollocephalus** · 10-11-2009, 05:21 AM

btw i'm not making the font bigger, the fact that text blends a bit with the background is entirely desired. if you want something that is immediately and clearly visible use coolboys design.

**hi_top** · 10-11-2009, 05:24 AM

Ok well I still like it so will consider it in my final decision

**hi_top** · 10-11-2009, 09:46 PM

I will give this another day, i want more than 2 to pick from
