Looks like you're going for the style of the guy who did the AF "Warriors" cd cover. It looks good. I like the artwork for the cd itself, it looks
pretty cool.
The back cover looks a little bit too crowded at the bottom. I would move some of it to the inside of the liner, but then you'd have to redo that to
fit it in. It's not like it's a major thing, maybe I'm just picky. Take it as you will.

No, I meant the back cover. There's a lot of writing crammed in at the bottom.

overall, you've done a great job, sd.
couple comments. as always, just my opinion...
- the disk image is the only element i think needs to be reconsidered. what is it? does it have anything to do with the band or the album? i'd
rather see you get some more distressed protester signs in there, maybe with the band name again as well. Or just mirror what's being used for the
inside tray card.
- i'm not sure what Discipline is talking about - i think the back cover is well balanced. Might need to put band or label contact info at the
bottom, but that's it.
- Discipline, is it the bottom of 'insert liner demo 1.jpg' you think is crowded? the thanks list? it is heavy, but it's the thanks list, so fuck
it. besides, if you think i'm gonna suggest they pull me out of the list, you got another thing commin!
- the only other thing that caught my eye are the embellishments in the first panel of "front insert demo 1.jpg" - the lines before and after 'out
for revenge is' and the ornaments before and after 'produced by'. You can see the black backgrounds behind the actual ornaments. are you on a mac?
try using the font zapf dingbats.
Only other thought - please tell me you've laid this out with the mandatory bleed!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

the disk image is the city of phoenix logo, and its missing part of one of its wings. i kind of agree that it needs a little more work(at least a band
logo or something). ill see what i can do
and yeah on the back cover. when ever we get somebody to put it out well put label logos and contact stuff and legal things down there
as for the thanks, you gave me a lot of great advice man!! you deserve to be there!!
as for the embellishments, im actually surprised theres not a ton of those. i dont have a very good monitor. how do i fix that?
also, whats a mandatory bleed?....hahaha
i did it like kindergarten crayon party. i just tried to stay in the lines

1. cool
2. now you're talking
3. my pleasure and thank you!
4. ultimately, that area is meant to be transparent, so you could cut out the offending backgrounds. i would use an ornamental fony like zapf
dingbats to create those
5. the bleed is when your design extends slightly beyond the dimensions of the cd. if a booklet is 4.75", you usually make your design 0.125" wider
all around,

I was gonna mention the disc image, but BD already did. I can understand wanting to use the city logo, but in all honesty, that thing looks horrible
and doesn't fit with the nice art on everything else. The one other thing that stuck out a bit to me was that crowd shot, it's not bad, it just looks
kinda awkward to me. There seems to be some weird choppy effect on it that makes it look like certain people were very poorly photoshopped into the
photo or something.

well two folks not digging the disk = it needs to go away
that crowd shot isnt really that photoshopped. i had to cut out a pole and move a few things around though. but either way, ill see what i can do on
that too

3 folks.
I looked at the artwork and that disc art is deffinetly what stick out like a soar thumb. Does not have the same feeling as the reast of the disc and
it kinda looks like it might be slightly low in the DPI department.
I was also going to mention the bleed area as it looks like the way it is setup now you may end up with a "nice" white border around all the
artwork...

I mean all of the stuff under the picture of the band on the back cover.

Looks much better, I do wonder what the hole in the middle of the CD is going to do to the lettering though. Looks like it may make it look like it
says OUT FOR REVFNGE. While I'm sure that anyone who got the CD would know what it was supposed to say, it's the kind of thing that would drive me
nuts if I was the one putting it together. Personally, I would put some space in the middle of the band logo so that OUT FOR is across the top of the
disc and REVENGE is across the bottom, but that's just me.

fine?

the disc is a big improvement and if you're going with a clear tray, i think that'll look fine.
