Just some random experimentation. Don't hurt me :smug:
Not bad
I prefer the box :smug:

Also, I'm not entirely sure how to release this...
Should it be done on bandcamp or what?
Yes bandcamp.
[QUOTE=Pepin;29316889]Yes bandcamp.[/QUOTE]
Cool.
I'm not sure I want to endorse having to donate to the album though. It seems a bit pettish to make an album with a purpose... then releasing it to make people feel guilty for not donating to charity.
This may sound a bit meh... but whatever :3:
[editline]20th April 2011[/editline]
More effing around with software gave me this.

Not so much to do with the concept but what dyou think :3:
Oicani's cover is superior to every cover posted in this thread. Although I'd move everything a bit down and replace "Concept" with "Ratings" or something along those lines.

I personally visualise an album cover like this... on an LP.
If it works as an LP cover then it will perfect for this project. Get my drift?

Take a look at some of this list of concept albums.
There is nothing wrong with being generic, but we've done 2 facepunch album releases already, this is something different :buddy:

Looks like Paint.NET effects with the facepunch logo in the middle.

Yes it is. Hence the "effing around". :smug:

I need to leave some of this up to you guys. I'm no master here... :smith:
I'm just throwing this out there:
How about a silhouette of a man, holding an artists palette in one hand, wrench in the other, rainbow in the background with lightning, etc. etc.
Here is my version of Akayz's box idea.
Its a only a concept, so it looks pretty ugly, but you get the idea.

Its simple yet pretty.
Though think it should have something more to it, since it seems almost boring right now.

how about now
I'm ok with it.

Better than expected, very nice box full of ratings. It's just the cover form that's hard.

Looks very crisp.
I'm not entirely sure what makes it unique though.

That's awesome. I expect a prototype in 2 days tops. :smug:

Yes
Also tried out something.

It's not much, to be honest. But once we rake in a few more ideas we can settle with them.
Ratings Can Talk?
I think that the background is really dull, but I kind of like the text.
[QUOTE=Mr._N;29321012]Ratings Can Talk?[/QUOTE]
No they can't. That's the beauty of it. :mmmsmug:

Sort of my handwriting, but it's hard to do with a mouse.

It need to be simple
[editline]21st April 2011[/editline]
I don't care what you guys do, I'm using this one

[editline]21st April 2011[/editline]
It worked with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
[editline]21st April 2011[/editline]
Also, we are starting to tie up loose ends. We should start theorizing about the next concept album, and remove people who have lack of contribution to this one.
Remove people? How do we do that :3:
I like your idea, just need it higher res to please them.
My version of panda's cover.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Rainbox.png[/img]
Is nice. Make it more like the the rainbow is coming out of the box. Seems as though it's plonked on top.
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/14meult.png[/IMG]
Nice...
I'm starting to like my handwriting one though :v:
Probably because it has a name.
Damn I'm late.

I really like textless, because alot of concept albums don't have text on them.
Plus it looks really cool now.

That one is better
[editline]21st April 2011[/editline]
Or we should pull a Kanye and have multiple covers with different ratings on them :psyduck:
We should probably make a vote to choose which album cover is the best.
