Hi guys! I recently made the new album cover for my next cd. I don't want to hear about how gay rap is or anything like that, I just want constructive criticism on the photo and what I could do to improve it. Thanks!

This gives you an idea of how I began with it, just as a reference...

Sorry for the images, they're kind of big...
Doesn't really make much sense, but I've seen worse album covers. Try something a bit more minimalist.

It seems a bit hectic and forgettable at the moment. No real focus.
No offense, but your glasses make it kind of funny rather than "hardcore" or whatever.
You also need to improve your skills at Photoshop.
i second that. glasses and gangster contradict. okay cover tho
It's not so good
Your source images are shitty and too low-res to make an album cover with in the first place, your text is blurry, and there's no real composition or design to speak of.
Also I'm assuming there's some kind of concept you're illustrating with it, but I'm mystified as to what it is.
an album cover is a square not a rectangle
Look:

30% your original size, and it looks much, much better.
The word spacing looks weird. Is it supposed to be "Twice Cause You're White"? Because then 'Twice' shouldn't be vertical and shouldn't be crammed into the corner like that. Also, 'J-Money Show' should be bigger if it's important. The sizing is more obvious on my resized version.
And generally album covers are square.
Where do you buy your Bizarro Patron?
horrible
Yes, this is supposed to have the general concept of our generation being transfixed on the stars and mostly the musicians. No, it's not a serious rap album, hence the glasses and the ridiculous bling. I agree that the text spacing us odd, and I was wondering where you think the album name should go. Btw, the J-Money Show thing isn't important. It's not really an album cover that will ever be printed, only used as the image on programs like iTunes and WMP. Thanks for the tips. If anybody has anything else to say nicely unlike the fucktard above me, please do. I'm only looking to improve.
Apart from the layout of whats on the TV screen, I actually really like it but youre going to probably want to make "J-Money Show" more visable becasue I took the "J" as a "U" and was confused as to weather the text was important but maybe thats just me.

i hope your music is better than your album cover
