This is a concept I as playing with. Trying to get something in my Graphic Design Portfolio.

I want to try to make CD covers for real bands or even none music CDs and DVDs

I used all stock images for this project.

Photo of woman is Leoni by Anna Klimczuk aka LeONi from Stock-Xchng.Com

The rings and the streaks in the background are from Diego Medrano from Stock-Xchng.Com

The fire image is from Imjori de Groot from Stock-Xchng.Com

The cracked texture base is Fissures IV by StruckDumb on deviantART.Com

This is my first real comp image with out using some tutorial so I need real input and feedback!

What do you like about it? What do dislike about it?

What can I do to improve it?

I am looking for serious critique on this one!

I think it is a little busy. I like the colors and concept. I would not have both the singer and the debut song in the same style. Somewhat smaller on them and the Singer stands out more. Just my humble opinion and what do I know. It does look professionally done. Good work.

So a different smaller font for the song badge?

Personally, I find the Featuring... bit smacks of the discount CD rack in the local supermarket and you are using too many font styles and sizes which makes it messy. Otherwise it is good, if a little weird which from a marketing perspective might put people off reducing sales. Remember, cd covers have to grab the buyers attention in racks of hundreds of CDs, so they need to stand out and be visually appealing, not necessarily a literal interpretation of the album title.

I like the picture, especially her eyes....but I don't like all the words inside balloons or clouds. It kinda makes it look old school...back in the 60's or something.
