oh the deadline is that close? I might have to submit an old track coz I was at my parents for a week and couldn't do anything there. Sad, I wanted to make a new track for this :(
[t]http://i.imgur.com/uN7a5Ds.jpg[/t] any critiques?
not a fan of it honestly, it doesn't seem appealing at all, there's so much black and cold colours also not really a fan of the filter on the image and the orange logo doesn't fit at all and just looks jarring
[t]http://i.imgur.com/ZpzOkFC.jpg[/t] Better?
definitely much better, but something's still off for me but i can't quite put my finger on it, maybe the choice of colours? then again if it was just shades of orange it would be a bit too similar to the last collab's cover [editline]24th June 2014[/editline] maybe colour it like the bottom being green shades like grass and the top being blue shades like the sky, that's what i'd consider summery [editline]24th June 2014[/editline] something like this [t]http://puu.sh/9IHQq/268d7424b7.png[/t] though done better, maybe just my idea though, would like some more people to post their opinions
I love the old design, very 80s :)
I'd like to enter too, I'm trying to get a song done by tomorrow for this.
[QUOTE=Skeeter;45204499]I love the old design, very 80s :)[/QUOTE] i think it's way too niche to fit as a collab album cover it looks like something that'd fit for a darkjazz album if you removed the logo and text, but its not open enough for the wide variety of styles that the albums always get, if you can understand what i'm trying to say
I think that's the charm with these albums, the art never looks like true collaborative albums and always has a distinct feel to them.
there's a difference between something that's charming and quirky and something that's just completely unfitting and the first cover is the latter in my opinion
I can't say I agree :v: Guess this means 1 vote for it and 1 vote against it, bidders make your calls this one's gonna be a shocker! [editline]25th June 2014[/editline] Man looking at that I'd love to have you help me with the cover art for one of my songs, T.W.F.O, I love that picture!
Lets vote.

i like the last one, the idea of using ice cream colours is great i'd be completely ok with that or the one i suggested second one is alright, fourth one's colours don't compliment eachother very well and the first one i dont like at all
[QUOTE=T.F.W.O.;45203688][t]http://i.imgur.com/uN7a5Ds.jpg[/t] any critiques?[/QUOTE] The blank space makes it look like a cassette tape cover, more than album art for anything that uses squares. Imo, the facepunch logo could be a lighter shade of orange, one used in the sun at the bottom of the pic would make it fit better. I'm also really not digging the type face, it doesn't look right. I really like the whole 80's lofi aesthetic though, I dig that shit I'd be more inclined with something like [url=http://horobox.co.uk/u/Alpine_1403695405.png]this[/url], a more even looking square design, and with the facepunch logo maybe being the horizon in the background. Obvs not done in paint in 10 mins like this, but you get what I mean right? [editline]25th June 2014[/editline] you've since done a bunch of them, but im still sticking with my guns, I do not like the typeface one bit, it doesn't fit
I'll defs be contributing to this! :D
8 people have submitted their tracks to me, awaiting songs from the following people: X-Bot_30K JumJum We're also eagerly awaiting news from healthpointdude and you Waffles :) Plenty of tracks of good music, I'm excited!
Yeah I got nothing man, I've been too busy with two (paid! :D) projects. Sorry! :( Don't really have an older track I can submit either, since all material I've been working on is for an EP/album.
It's been about a day. [t]http://i.imgur.com/46MBMSF.jpg[/t] [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] [t]http://i.imgur.com/iyO4GIb.jpg[/t] [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] These are the two that received the most votes. Rate accordingly.
Second one is ugly stop voting for it
[QUOTE=redBadger;45212680]Second one is ugly stop voting for it[/QUOTE] first one is ugly stop voting for it, looking at it physically irritates my eyes this has to be the first time that a collab album has had such a big divide when it comes to album covers, for the most part everyone has agreed on one before
Maybe we should try a different one that everyone can agree on. Maybe get some more FP colors in there like some red and blue
T.F.W.O. isn't tired of making album covers i'd agree that's the best course of action using colours directly from the site would be great and the grey lines that are used as the background could be useful as well
and can you please change the typeface, it just doesn't fit imo
submitted my track, when is the release btw?
26th or 27th, depending on how long uploading will take, assuming skeeter won't get any problems
Skeeter, I hate to be nitpicky, but be sure you credit me as Mr._N with an underscore, as there is another member here named Mr. N :v:.

Theoretically, the colors should totally work. Would it help if I neutralized the colors a bit? I will also change the typeface coz no one seems to like it. [editline]25th June 2014[/editline] I will fix the orange a blue one, and put it up against a design using Facepunch colors.

[QUOTE=Darth Ninja;45216959]Facepunch Neapolitan Icecream?[/QUOTE] Yeah! Coz y'know... it's summer.
