Which image is better?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.10.2007, 06:59 PM

I'm puting up an EP on my site called crowgarden and I've got two ideas for cover art. Not sure which one I should do.

1.

2.

i like number 2

!@#$%! · 07.10.2007, 07:06 PM

the first one. it actually conveys the idea of a "crow gardend" AND you can read what it sez

#2 says "rowgard" - a deodorant for athletes?

---

OH FUCK. i mistakenly voted for 2. take it back.

I totally agree.

however, I really like how the text is partially obscured in #2. it makes you have to work to read the words. although that might not be best for a cover, I'd use it for the inside!

please tell me that there is a song called Murder.

haha, nice.

pokkeherrie · 07.10.2007, 07:57 PM

the first one

SynthethicalY · 07.10.2007, 07:58 PM

I would say two, but I could see why one would work better.

pbradley · 07.10.2007, 08:00 PM

number 1 looks like an album, number 2 looks like a single (suggested by the single bird)

true.

nomowish · 07.10.2007, 08:14 PM

The text hurts the first one.

The 2nd one rules because... who doesn't want to see a crow dead? Plus the word "crowgard" makes me think, "oh shit, a new 'avant-garde'!" Crowgarden, on the other hand, I just don't care about. Its inadvertant relationship to "Soundgarden" is lame to me.

pokkeherrie · 07.10.2007, 08:22 PM

Try thinking of "Savage Garden" instead... maybe that helps.

No, the dead crow and "Crowgarde" still reign supreme. Like, doesn't "crowgarde" just get you thinking? Like, is the music a crow's twist on avant-garde music? And I don't care if I'm alone in my thinking at all. Now all that needs to happen is for the music to actually capture the idea of a Crow's twist on the Avant-Garde.

All I can say is that I'd love to hear it. I'm sure Brian Eno could fashion something out of the idea.

EMMAh · 07.10.2007, 11:14 PM

Oooo, I tied it. I think #1 is the best.

nicfit · 07.11.2007, 05:15 AM

METAAAAAAAAAAL!

That still doesn't look right. The font is a bit dodgy and the black and white graphics make it look more like a cheap cdr homemade cover, or one of those promo copies that radio DJs get. The first one remains the best out of the two, though.

nicfit · 07.11.2007, 05:26 AM

I forgot to say that I quite like the first one. If you'll do a coherent back cover / booklet / cd art it could work.
