big. and. messed up. we had to make it for an existing artist, and make the cover. i chose Coldplay... >< I need suggestions to make it less scary.
biggest cd cover ive ever seen
i dont like the text, the reast is... "decent"
Oops. I forgot to fix the big ass size. >< I need a new text..... i'm going to go browse through 1001fonts.... and post a smaller pic o___O
Seems like an actually really good idea for a cd cover with those 2 hands making the heart. Don't know much about Coldplay's music, but does that symbolize something to do with there songs or lyrics?
I like it alot, just needs quite a bit of work on the text to me though.
Very nice.
8.5/10
I havent heard all of the songs on their new album, but I heard that some songs had "deep meaning" or something. Hah. I changed the font, except the new font is all lord of the ringsish.... Does anyone know a good font that would fit in this crazy cover?
alright, heres the new font:

it looks weird... i'm going to keep browsing for a new font. tell me what you think of this one though~
hell i like it, but keep working on that font, yeuch.
gah... the font is so hard >< must... force... self... to... look at.... more... not ugly... fonts! should i add any effects to the font? right now this is the only problem i'm having... a fugly font ><
I actually quite like it, the text, as everyone else mentioned, needs some working :)
I think the colors on the font are having trouble with the background.
Try using an overlay or something, I always try using an overlay or layer blending style on every text I use in a piece, alot of them make a big difference in looks and feel of a text, especially on unique backgrounds like those.
**Just my personal opinion here, I'm no pro so this method may not be "technically accepted", but it helps me out alot on my fonts and text styles.
Okay. One of the requirements is the font needs a clipping group, so I have to put some dumb image in it. So I need to mess with the blending style, and i need to find a kickass font now. okay. it's all good. i'll keep posting it with different fonts and effects, and tell me what you think.
tips for font:
until you get good, just use plain color, if needs be, a bevel with size1 (so its hardly noticable, but gives depth)
I have to use a clipping group for the font, it's a requirement... but i'll find a generally same colored picture.
coldplay makes nice music. I like the new "spped of sound". But all i have to say is that it is very well done.

what do you think of that font? good? fugly?
i like it, it's so flowing.
It's nice. I think if you just make it readable and easy on the eyes you'll be good to go.
Okay okay okay.... this one:
