my first cd cover

Hm for a first its not bad. The Photo looks pretty LQ tho and the text is kind of just placed there. Need to blend the text in. Also I would do more to it then have a Photo background and text. It needs more to it.

Kind of looks like he has a humpback

Did you resize it holding the shift key? about the background...it's okay.
Sharpen it a little, mess with the color settings...you know, the usual!
Fur was saying (I think...) that overall, the cover is lacking in variety.
There's really not much there other than BG + Text.

Add more!

Overall, kiu buddy

lol.. looks like the text itself is LQ too. When placing text, there are diiferent settings:
sharp, strong etc.. try the different settings for your text.. :)

Usually just lowering the opacity of the text blends it in a little. I I would just mess around a little with the opacity.
As the ideas go idk, ive never really done a CD cover before. I can link some really good CD covers to you for a general idea on how they should look.
