CD Artwork

[Hishnak]

Hi, I made this artwork for a local band. Any suggestions? Something that just looks wrong? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Front and back of booklet


Back cover


Inside booklet (no text yet)


Tray card


The actual CD (four colors, the white will be transparent)


[EDIT]

I made a new CD. Any better than the first version?


Also, an updated front cover without the gloves and a modified "L".

That looks fantastic!  No crits, except maybe the ships getter darker seems a bit weird to me since the earth is fully lit.

Ok, most of this is personal suggestions, and not hard critique stuff, so take it or leave it if you want.

For the first one I'd make it so the front and back cover blend between one another. The street, sidewalk and brick wall are seamless, so why not the rest?

For the second image, the perspective is off, but it probably doesn't matter as much. Also it looks like the street in the background isn't lined up (it changes height between the two buildings on the left.)  Also it looks like the building in the background next to the tree goes out into the middle of the street.

The next two are great.

For the cd cover I'd maybe have one or two white/highlights on the text to make it more visually interesting like the logo on the cover.

The gloves feel rather...flat and generic--not like your typical choice-selector-glove, you know?

Also, the white copyright text in the street is kind of hard to read....then again, isn't copyright information supposed to be hard to read?

But still, really cool idea.

The L in Flowers looks like a capital i somewhat, as it is the only one that's lowercase. Neat stuff otherwise.

That is amazing. It's way too late now but I would have worked in a lower resolution (possibly half of what you have there) to really emphasize the pixel-ness of the art.

thanks for the comments.

You're right. I'll fix those right away.

I removed the gloves to see if I liked it better. I think it make it look less busy.

Indeed.

Minor technical crit: since you've got a 4/4 tray card, I'm assuming you'll be using a clear tray? If so, the front of the case might be a little jarring with the black starry sky on the spine and the cheery blue sky on the booklet. Might be an intentional contrast, but it's one of those things that's really easy to miss without a mockup.

You did a fantastic job with this!

However, some of the taller front-row buildings' rooftops don't look quite right..
It's probably just because all of the rooftops have the same height and my eyes are just trying to convince me that shorter buildings should have shorter roofs.

I'm not fond of the cat, compared to the rest of the smooth looking pictures it looks a bit scribbly and unpolished...specially the tail.
