I've been cranking these out for the past two hours and once I get my hosting shit sorted I'll show you fatties what time it is.

This is preposterously amusing. I could do this all day (none of these are very good, but whatever).

Definitely Album of the Year material...

I'm having difficulty access the flickr photos... do I have to be logged in to download them?

Anyway, here's one:

Sounds and looks like horrible orchestral rock or something.

It's surprising, everything in this thread so far could all be actual album covers. I've seen worse on real CDs I've bought.

Some more of mine:

This last one took far longer than it should. I used Max just to get the perfect shadow from the lower text. Which you really can't see anyway...arg.

Hunh. Those are pretty good.

Now mine, in the order I made them.

Not too bad for a first attempt. Also not too good.

Similar title scheme as the previous one. Need to break free from this bold/not bold sans-serif business.

Still not too showy with the fonts. That's the problem with basing these off cool photos, you don't want to shit all over them with raging text.

OR DO WE? :cool:

Still trying to break free of the small print sans-serif business most of these photos evoke, to mixed success.

But this one deserved it. All three random elements really came together for this one.

And sometimes shitting all over a photo with text is exactly what you do.

This one is okay, if a little difficult to read.

This one is the only one I broke the rules on, as I turned down about three majestic naturescapes (too easy!) before finding this one. I kind of like my attempt at creating a band logo, although, once again, a simple bold/not bold sans-serif would probably have been more evocative.

Off to do some more.
