Switch the covers...back is in front & vice versa...otherwise this looks pretty good. Reply »

Well that was cool... Actually I didn't mind the format... The image before looked better... And also not every cover opens from the front side e.g. in japan it opens from the back side... So your previous version was not wrong if you did it intentionally... Well I am adapted to reading both from left to right and right to left... Same case goes for opening a book or cd in this case... So it doesn't matter to me... Anyway again nice cover

Edit: It's just an suggestion, If you haven't merged your psd file and the sections are movable, don't cut and re arrange... Instead just shift the text...

And it would also different, the whole band at the back cover instead of the front cover... Although you will need clever song placement as not to overlap their faces... Reply »

Hmm no i really didn't think about a cd's cover, i mean how it opens, what comes first and so on, since i did the front part first i put it first as well in the final result. Reply »

Well I think I went overboard... But I loved the headphone stock... Wanted to use all, but could use only 4 outta 12...

But using the same person/ model does bring good consistency in this template...

Yes, I made it in a template, but it's a a mock template, coz it's not in the actual size...

Based on a 3 piece girl modern/soft rock band called "Gaussian Resonance" XD

There are some white line between the covers... Those are not border but rather gaps..

The top most leaflet is the double type fold able front cover...

The middle leaflet in the inlet cover...

And the bottom is the back cover and the cd itself...

Oh man, did this took lot of time... Editing the pic was fast... It was the text and lay outing that took away most of my time... Now I know why people want huge pay for lay outing lol...

The font I use is mentioned in sbs... Also the headphone link provided leads to a zip file... It's a pack... I didn't find separate images... So if you want to validate my source, you have to download the zip file...

Also permission is show in sbs as well...

Hope everyone enjoys this template...

View in High res to be able to see the song list properly...

And very much thanks to these person...

Thanks to da ~xopion for his awesome mockingbird guitar shot...

Thanks to da ~Lina-Tsu for her gorgeous and sensual guitar playing pic...

And most thankful to da =TwiggXstock which is the really the bulk of my template... XD (2 years and 261 days ago)

This is absolutely incredible! This image is creative, catchy, cool, colorful, and careful in preserving even the most minute details found on CDs. Only a few things I can say that might be improved, and it's mainly a matter of my personal taste so don't feel the need to take my suggestion: first, the nude girl is not playing any chord which makes sense (though this neither matters nor can be avoided); second, the dots in the border around the picture of the nude girl should be blue and silver as opposed to blue and red, to preserve the color scheme.

visba says:

I ran out of room, so let me continue. Third, the picture of the nude girl has too stark of a transition between itself and the sorroundings; maybe a fade effect could make it less harsh on the eye. Also, since the catch phrase is "blurring the blur in the music" you could perhaps find places to add blur in the image, such as faded edges or slightly blurred fonts to make this catch phrase more evident in the image. Other than that I can't really say anything. AMAZING image! Reply »

author says:

Thanks vibs... Well I agree with your suggestion although I am happy with the end result for now... Also my eyes are tired now... Will get some rest and then try tweaking it... And about that girl not catching any chord, I noticed it but I liked the pic so much I had to include it lol...

Edit: @ Golemaura I was waiting for someone to say something about the white space... Glad it was you... But I made this not a chop but rather a template... So I don't really care about the white space... Also if i try to expand the bottom cover, it would really really mess up the proportion of the covers... Coz even if the covers are not of actual size, they are proportional to each other... Maybe I should add an invoice to Gaussian Resonance in that white space...

@Akassa I was also expecting that... Knew some people won't see that as a rock cover... But I mentioned that the band is modern/ soft rock maybe with some element of pop... And band that is totally rock is quite rare now a days... And I made the album according to contemporary style... At least it is not emo lol... Well each has it's own opinion...

Thanks for the feedback peeps...

Edit: Added an cd to the white space...Just for you Golem cause I LUUBBB you ROFL ha ha ha ha... enjoy...

Also made the color scheme more consistence in the inlet cover... Got rid of the orange red color... Reply »

GolemAura says:

hehehe... things get out a hand every once and awhile..LOL.. the huge white space on the bottom right corner is a big NO NO.. but I know you know that already author.. LOL.. you could just expand the bottom image and lengthen the whole piece.. no big whoop .. good luck.. hehehe

EDIT: Simple excellent fix.. great save author Reply »

Chicken Wings - created by arkncheeze

Ok a really Obnoxious alternative rock band called "Chicken Wings" with their newest album "Mac 'n' Cheese"...

No outside source used... Just pen tool, custom shape and different fonts...

Since the band is suppose to be obnoxious... I tried to made the album obnoxious by using different font thus not maintaining any font consistency...

I really don't think sbs is necessary for this particular piece... But I will be providing a sbs later on... I need to go somewhere now...

The font I used are Arial, ZeitGeisterbahn, Casual, Asian Dings, Astronaut III, Bearpaw, Failed Attempt, Verdena, Catwalk, Far East, Floraless, Times Roman...

Most of these font can be found either at 1001freefonts.com or dafont.com...

The chicken spiral illustration is made by me in illustrator using spiral tool, ellipse tool and pen tool...

The big chicken in the inlet cover is a text "t" typed in Asian Dings font...

P.S. Must watch in high res.

Edit: I am so sorry... I forgot I used a external compact disc source... Was so sleepy when I uploaded this... Provided source link as well... And sbs complete... (2 years and 259 days ago)
