Graphix nouveaux - 140815

Sponsored by "Recently Played".

Spent the morning designing the graphics for the album. I found a public domain image from Wikipedia Commons which really fit (fitted?) the bill for a variety of reasons and I think I have come up with a really striking design for the cover. It may not be to everyone's taste, and I am thinking of offering an alternative cover image with the download for those who might require it.

And in spite of all the pictures that I took over the last few days, I ended up only using one, from the first photoshoot. I have been using it as my Facebook profile pick for a day or two. No-one has died, that I am aware of...

So that's a big hurdle surmounted. I'm looking at a release date in early September, after I come back from vacation. And I have a busy few days over the weekend, so you won't be hearing from me for a little bit. Nothing to worry about - I'm sure I'll be enjoying myself. The company will be good anyway...;-).

Photoshoot 2 - 130815

Sponsored by "Talking Heads".

Did another session this morning - out in the backyard this time - again with the Canon camcorder.

Technically, the pictures came out very well and I am pleased with them - but I still don't have my cover...

I have two options - I have found an image on Wikipedia that would do the trick, and thematically would tie in with the covers I've done for the EPs, or I could have no image at all - just text. That option is very striking and compelling, but I think it would be out of step with the design theme, so I will go for the Wikipedia image if I can make it work. Or another one...

Other photos in the shoot can be used for the "inside" (if such a thing exists these days) of the album sleeve (if such etc.) and in the press kit and they will be fine.

Design work for tomorrow then...;-).

One last tweak to the mix in CE5/AA3. Definitely using this mix...I hope...;-).

...FLY

Finally got down to designing the cover art. Had a bit of fun locating a suitable font, but eventually got one. I can highly recommend 1001freefonts.com if you're stuck for a font.

I also found a suitable image from Wikipedia. I know, "Creative Commons" and all that, but just because I used it in this instance doesn't mean I endorse it. You can't call me a hypocrite if I acknowledge it myself...;-).

I'm having a good old think about a suitable release date. Sometime within the next few weeks, that for sure.

Roadtrip for the next few days. See you later on in the week...
