The Ratings LP
Why so funny, it was a legit idea
[QUOTE=Reset Panda;29468026]Why so funny, it was a legit idea[/QUOTE] It can be viable. Just have to put a suitable cover for it. :3:
[QUOTE=Clovis;29468066] I reckon it would suit the rainbox perfectly[/QUOTE] Calling it "The Ratings LP" tells me it's trying to have a classic look on it, slightly humorous. Get the drift?
[IMG]http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o202/akayz_people/ratelp.png[/IMG] Just an idea.
IT BURNS MY EYES
[QUOTE=Hakita;29468346]IT BURNS MY EYES[/QUOTE] The Ratings LP :smug:
I like it

Confirm it
That is much better, but I still don't really like the cover idea.
[QUOTE=Hakita;29468563]That is much better, but I still don't really like the cover idea.[/QUOTE] Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. :smith:
[QUOTE=AK'z;29468571]Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. :smith:[/QUOTE] I think it would be better without the overdone filter and with the facepunch logo being inside the box, so you can only see half of it. Also, the box has way too much colour when compared to the FP logo.

Now the FP logo looks too sharp and it looks like its ontop of the box instead of inside of it :v:
[QUOTE=Hakita;29468650]Now the FP logo looks too sharp and it looks like its ontop of the box instead of inside of it :v:[/QUOTE] :doh: God almighty!!!
And instead of making the logo more red you should make the box have less contrast. I know I'm nitpicking here, but still :v:
[IMG]http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o202/akayz_people/ratelp4.png[/IMG] [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] come on, you must like that.
Much better, but the box is still way too blurred when compared to the FP logo. Try making the logo smaller and then back to achieve the same blurriness.
Which blur do I use? :gonk: [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] [IMG]http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o202/akayz_people/ratelp5-1.png[/IMG] Blur good? :ohdear:
I still think you should find a way to include all the ratings.
I think it looks fine now. Although I don't really like the brownish filter ontop of the whole cover, I'm ok with what it is now.
[QUOTE=Jocken300;29469347]I still think you should find a way to include all the ratings.[/QUOTE] Tried and tested. Better to be simple in terms of a concept album, besides... the back cover will include everything. [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Hakita;29469402]brownish filter ontop of the whole cover[/QUOTE] :gonk: Do you mean the brown colour itself or... something else?
The whole filter. I think it would be much better without all that brown grain-ish stuff ontop.
[QUOTE=Hakita;29469458]The whole filter. I think it would be much better without all that brown grain-ish stuff ontop.[/QUOTE] Well.... it changes. [IMG]http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o202/akayz_people/ratelp6.png[/IMG]
Now this I like!
Alright, I had an idea and here are a few different versions in it. The mustache can be taken away. I also just kind of made up a title and it can be changed.

I would object to having the word "concept" in the title of the album, but it has a sort of parodying quality to it.
I think it would be kind of cool to not have the album title on the album art. I think the album art should pretty much get across what it is about.
[QUOTE=Pepin;29477630]I think it would be kind of cool to not have the album title on the album art. I think the album art should pretty much get across what it is about.[/QUOTE] I disagree, concept albums tend to have a cover that is ambiguous or symbolic. No specific meaning to it, but there still is artistic merit. It's a nice effort with the use of all the ratings, but I think people will like a simple cover art for this. Also the name kind of works now, thanks to Reset Panda. :v: Look a page back about having Smarked as the bonus track.
