CD Cover Design

Zoner · **CD Cover Design -** 05-20-2004, 08:44 AM

Just made a CD cover for a mixed CD I'm about to burn for myself. I've been making these "Riffs of Hate" compilations on cassette since high school, but this is the first one I'll do on CD.

This is a large image...full CD jacket dimensions. jpg has been compressed to a manageable 184KB, though.

Lemme know what I should change design-wise. I don't care if you like any of the bands on the CD or not...that's not what I'm looking for in a critique.

I like the tunes on the CD...that's all that matters to me. rock:

I like it. The font used for the track listing might be hard to read once printed out possibly...?

looks awesome- sorta agree with the font

Shouldnt be no worries if ya got a colorlaser though.
But then again, they arent exactly cheap. biggrin:

Lookin good though.

The original looks much crisper (the jpg compression undoubtedly fudged that font a bit).

The colour printer I have will print that out fine when it's 300dpi and uncompressed, instead of 72dpi and compressed like a mofo.

Thanks for the comments tho...keep 'em coming.

i really like it..good stuff zoner

you could loose the bevel on the "hate" text, maybe even change the font.

nice work though.

Yeah, I was going for a stamped in/shattered look on the "HATE". The inner bevel never looks too great, but I'm guessing that won't be too glaring once it's printed.

I like how the spin breaks apart behind 'hate'

Bucknub · 05-20-2004, 05:55 PM

Id' change the font on the back dude.

I like...though blind guardian > iced earth.

designing cd covers is a blast
ive done so many

i like the riffs of hate part a lot, but i think it would look better with a warmer
color scheme, like more orange than pink

i think senor vorhees would make a good covergirl for one of these cds, you should let him in

Zoner · 05-21-2004, 06:59 AM

Hrm...that might be an idea...heh

I'll tinker with the back cover font. That list isn't the final one anyway...some Blind Guardian might creep in there.

Thanks dudes.

That better?

Tystnad · 05-21-2004, 07:55 AM

Yeah, id say it is.
Still, dunno how that beveled "Hate" will come out. biggrin:
