Low quality pic, good composition - but the black text kills me. If we're gonna go into photography, the fact that you have your hair over your face shows withdrawal, embarrassment, hiding emotions, or anything along those lines. Hands in pockets makes you seem stagnant. There's nothing emotive, interesting or attention grabbing about this image.
Back to the design, the choice of text is average, there's no intelligent design involved. It's a nice look, but does it really hold the value that you want people to feel?
The colours, while not necessarily bad, just make it look like 90% of all contrast edits;
like you assume that colour adjustments are all about going as far as you can without distorting the pixels.
Parental advisory labels are gay. Simple.
If you feel that you have a large enough target audience to have to outright discern between the people who care about what you have to say, and the people out of that market who are going to take their parent to the store-shelf that your CD is sitting on, then by all means keep them.
But personally, the only people likely to buy/consume this are the people who really don't give a shit whether you 'swear' or talk about sticking your cock in somebody.
Unless you have a potential audience of over 1000 people, I wouldn't even think to ask myself 'Do I need to warn parents about content?'
It's the equivalent of putting a sign up at a heavy metal concert saying 'warning, people may mosh'.
In summary it looks like a 10 minute photoshop job for the cover of an acoustic/emotional journey of a teenager with a 6 string and a facebook fanbase.
On a side note, you've called it an album, but labeled it as an EP.
Props on the proper feed. Working on those issues now.
Its Cool. Cant Front.
Cheers for that
I can't talk with experience or knowledge on the technicalities..
But from just a viewers perspective..
The backdrop with you = Dope
The font for the title = Dope
But they don't go together, i think you have to pick one or the other IMO.
Not bad at all though, it'd stand out to me if i saw it.
It look good
Cheers to both who left feed :P
