Title: Need some help to create album cover for my band
Post by: klikboom on November 21, 2008, 04:45:25 PM: I am trying to come up with some demo-album cover art for my band (www.myspace.com/aimwest). I was thinking of maybe putting something like a night picture of Seattle on the cover like the attached, but I also wanted to incorporate a gun somehow to symbolize the "Aim" in AimWest. Any ideas? We are an acoustic/folk/alt/gospel band, that's kind of a new genre :chuckle:

Does anyone have a good night picture of Seattle they would let me use? Its just a demo-cd so there wouldn't be any money associated with it but I would of course give the photographer credit. I will pretty much just be trying to giving the CD away at my show Jan 3 in b'ham if I can get the demo put together in that time.

Thanks for any help,
AAron

Thanks for the nice words Cackle.

That scene is played out and you would be better using something more local to your band or something more representative of your music.
