mikeweil Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 That Dolphy cover is my favourite so far (if it only had happened ......)! The Cassanda-nite is nice too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 (edited) Twenty some years ago Ann and I made a fake BN cover for our Fred Anderson recording, inspired by Lauren Deutsch's photo. We had to set the type by hand. Edited September 21, 2003 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Twenty some years ago Ann and I made a fake BN cover for our Fred Anderson recording, inspired by Lauren Deutsch's photo. We had to set the type by hand. I'd think that setting the type by hand would allow you a lot more freedom, unless you REALLY knew the software.

.:.impossible Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 I had to make a cover for ACTION! a couple of years back. The distressed font in the Dolphy cover made me think of this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD45 Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Damn, impossible, that looks better that many legit releases I have seen. [iron Man, anyone?] Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Thanks Clinton. Judging by your skills, I'd imagine you feel the same way about cheap cover art. How legitimate recordings get released with bad graphic design, I will never know. There are hundreds of people more skilled than you and I who would be more than willing to get a shot at designing for record labels! FOR FREE!

Joe Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Feelin' elegaic this morning... Besides, this session was something of a tribute to the classic "Blue Note", "hard bop" sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of people more skilled than you and I who would be more than willing to get a shot at designing for record labels! FOR FREE! I thought that exact thing when I saw your Dolphy cover. They could get it done at an art college, for pete's sake. Free, I'm almost sure. There are some of those albums out there that I refuse to buy util there are some better covers on them. {mostly grey market stuff.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 This is a great thread! I've really been enjoying all your covers. Here's my Stanley Cowell - Brilliant Circles. I tried to do it as if it was Reid Miles in 1969 doing a 2-color cover. I hope you like it. :rsmile: That cover ROCKS! I love how the title font fits in with the time and overall graphic. I wanna buy it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
