First off, thanks for all of you and your help I appreciate it.
Second, Nate thanks for the feedback and that pic looks awesome, and yes we do have a Manitoba Moose hockey team but we're not that good that people in the States would know about it, I was suprised you did.
Ok now, I do have Pshop borrowed from a friend but I am not very good at it and do no think I can make swanky CD art as nice as some people on here can. Everything about this CD needs to be pretty basic, nothing flashy, very earthy and personal. I have a good idea of the direction I want to take now that I've seen and heard everybodys ideas. I havent seen that many CDs that I can remember with someone walking down the road but I can imagine that concept is pretty played out. Heres the 2 options Im facing, let me know what you all think.
1) I came up with a phrase about a month ago that goes "confessions of a rambling heart" and really like it. It would make a great CD name however I dont really see how the connection can be made to the CD, other than the fact that the songs reflect what Im feeling, but theres no line in the CD that matches. On top of that, I liked the phrase so much that I kind of have it set apart as a book title of a book Im *trying* to write. If I would choose it as the CD name, I would go with a black and white nostalgic look like eeb posted.
2) A line in one of the songs goes "tell me, why are skies so blue?". I could name the album "skies so blue" and leave everything black and white BUT the sky in every shot.
Any ideas/suggestions? Its mainly a demo CD and I want to do as much of the artwork myself, thats why it needs to be basic. With help of tutorials I think I can achieve both of the above options in Pshop.
RayC, gotcha on the road safety thing, I like your rendering of me on the far right side, almost out of the picture. I think thats the way Ill crop it.
Thanks all,
Mike
