Album Cover...

[L0SS]

A cover I made for a mate's band. Simple but hopefully pretty bold and striking. They wanted psychedelic, dark, and condensed, so that's what I tried to capture. CnC appreciated!

I don't know what the original clipped pattern was like, but it looks like you've dodge/burned it a lot. I'd like to see what it looks like a little more flat. If that is what it was like originally, filling a layer with #808080 Grey then putting it on Luminosity, while fiddling with opacity (theoretically) fixes that.

Stylistically, I like it. Same white lines-on-black vibe that AM has. Play around with fonts a bit, see if you can improve on this. The fonts are great, but I always mess about with finished products for a bit even after I'm happy.

Yeah, you're right about the burn look. I applied a texture over an original texture, and then embossed it to create the 3D effect, as I wanted to play with the perspective and stuff. I shall take your advice and try it flatter. AM was definitely what I was looking at when I came up with this, as stylistically it just works so well. I think the fonts were semi-placeholders, and I tried adding textures and colours, but I couldn't find anything I was happy with. I've got a few other ideas though, so I shall endeavour to find something more exciting. 

Cheers.
