In my opinion you should loose the image between the track list for each disc... it too much, and only helps to create confusion to the reader. Visual trash.
You also gain space to enlarge the text.

Maybe you should try to merge the bottom of the drawing with the white background, a sort of fade out...


1- I cannot change that cover, i did not make it...In fact i'm not a fan of it, I did not like the usage of the indy font in everything but i didnt feel like doing covers if i already had them XD. And when i got Last crusade i just copied the syle.
I liked the picture between the tracklist just because with it i discovered that Drew struzan had made a Raiders poster ;)

2- Oh, i know what you mean. At the time i could not find that poster in its complete form without text. I'll see what i can do if i have the time...

Here are my Star Wars Prequel covers in the same style as the Sony re-release of the Original Trilogy. The Sony covers were accused of being bad Photoshop jobs. Mine really ARE bad Photoshop jobs. :lol:
I still need to make the back covers one day. ROTFLMAO

And also some small ones for as graphics for MP3s (iTunes). I especially like the Lair one. The PotC ones and The Mummy Returns are not mine.

Okay corrected the back cover, even changed the lay out for the listings a bit...I like this new one better. The front cover stayed the same though.

People who don't speak English as a first language are too busy looking up what lambasted means, whilst they are being Lambasted.

meh... well honestly these are mostly for myself so it doesn't really matter to me all that much. I'm not quite that picky on it.

Edit: BTW the original file is fine as far as the way how it looks. Photobucket loves to resize images no matter what so that's why it looks off.

Ya. I saw those and you put A LOT of work into them. I did sort of the same thing with the program notes and made them the album liner notes as well. Great job! Your covers are OUTSTANDING to say the least.

Here are some that I have designed.
Love to hear some feedback.

Here is a 3cd AI set that is in a 3cd jewel case, so that is why there is the circle in the back. Also, the left side of the front cover was an existing design that another designer made that was used for the promo, but the front is all me.

Hope you like 'em.
