To be honest I don't like any of the three, but of three I
like the second the most.

i think the first one conveys the feeling of my music the
most...

don't like the new one either.

btw, why don't you make these choices yourself, on your own
I mean..?

im not a pro graphic designer

ive gotten lots of good advice on if things look too
photoshoped... things i wouldnt have noticed.

sometimes its good to ask people there thoughts, cause you
yourself are too subjective

I'd agree with that. The first one's a bit gaudy, the second
one's a bit drab and the third is slightly too bright.

That basically sounds like I'm impossible to please but I'd
say go with something plain.

but isn't that the point of being creative - you're allowed
to indulge yourself, in other words, you are allowed to be
'too subjective'..?

anyway, theres nothing wrong with not being a pro graphic
designer - thing is, your designs look like they're trying
to emulate a pro graphic designers.. ehm... designs.

I still think you should make it simpler. it just fits into
all the cliched ways people think about when thinking of
"idm" (exactly the same with all these horrible made-up
words people use for titles..)

sorry.

the new cover is mold right? i still like the "pretty almond
eyes" one best. are you still going to keep the album title
even tho coil already have a cd called that?

I agree.

Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



tits: yeah, cause they didnt invent the term... plenty of
albums/songs have the same names

i just dont want some typical minimal design IDM cover...
like autechre or something

i just want something that looks good, and reflects how i
visualize my music

and i think "suck ass" is a bit much

let me see you attempt a cover

* kcinsu isnt "made up" exactly

its my last name backwards... maybe you consider that "made
up" but oh well, i like it

Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



ugh things backwards is even worse! i wish i didn't know
that was where the name came from.

i know you're on the defensive in this thread but don't
insult my intelligence (re: coil not making up the term). i
was just asking a simple question. lots of artists decide
not to use album names when they find out someone else has
in recent memory already used it. and like you said, lots of
artists also decide to keep it.

i like the 3rd one the most

Points: 7327 Status: Addict



the third one ownz the other two. i just dont like the
color use for it. show lots of mushrooms. maybe if you get
some people in they can put magic mushroom powder within the
paper so when people buy it they can take it home, 'scratch
and sniff' and get high off your music.

if not that, change it to something more simpler d00d.

tits: you misunderstood me. i wasnt trying to be
condesending... i was just stating my reason for using it.

Go for the first or the third one. Trash the second one.

I like the pretty mushrooms in the first, and the third has
a very clean, pure look.

ok, a new one is up

my sister made it

she goes to design school, so i think its pretty
professional

the rings.
