   • Help!!! We're having real problems getting our album cover together. We have a sketch of us that looks great but just isn't working in terms of a front cover so we're looking for an alternative piece of artwork if anyone has anything going spare or any ideas. We're trying to avoid anything too cliched and rock and roll/metal. The album is self titled so there's no real concept to pin any artwork on either just to make things even more difficult. We're open to suggestions so it could be a picture or a cool design piece (personally I kind of like a lot of the Small Stone covers that have come out recently).
     
     Cheers

   • I'd recommend going to gigposters.com, have a browse through the artists, there are loads, and choose one that uses a style you like, then commission them to do the work. It'll cost but it'll be well worth it.
     Or put a post in the forum, theres a section for it, asking for artwork, but be prepared that you need to provide a few details of what your after and a budget etc. Like anyone who does something for a living artists don't always react well to being asked to do something for free. In my opinion its worth paying someone, just like you would for recording to get the result you want.
     Other than that your going to need a kind soul with plenty of spare time who's looking to add to their portfolio or similar. Maybe an art student might do it?

   • That's the problem, we're all absolutely skint like you wouldn't believe and still trying to pay off the album costs as it is so we basically have no budget to do this at all. We have a guy to do the layout but just struggling to find a suitable image for the cover. Peronally I like the idea of stripping it back to basics and using our logo and that's it. Simple and effective worked on Back In Black, Master Of Reality, Humble Pie at the Filmore...etc. Phil though I think would like to have an image on there but it's finding something appropriate...which is hard when you don't have a title or a concept.

     It always yields results.

   • Does it need to be a painting/ drawing or have you considered photography?
     If you know someone with a decent camera it's a good time of year for interesting shots of nature, weird skies, rainbows (Dio lives!). Even fairly mundane evryday scenes can be filtered and tweaked into something rather groovy.
     Definitely cheaper and quicker than commissioning an artist.

     It could be anything to be honest. I have a guy to do the graphics but he's not an artist. I've just sent him a bunch of photos to see if he can fuck about with them and come up with anything.

    • If you send me the sketch I can probably come up with some sort of ideas I can throw toward ya about what might work with it, at least match you up with someone who could do the work. I do work on graphics every day just can't afford to take any projects at all at the moment, got loads to be sorting out
