This piece of work is something done in my spare time for a friends band, to be honest I'm quite proud of it and it's a definite improvement on the bands previous album cover which had been blatantly scratched up in about ten minuets. Also I'm proud to announce that this piece of work hasn't been done on photo shop or any professional software of any kind, which just goes to show you don't have to pay big money for good results. Instead of photo shop i used GIMP 2.0 which is a free editing sowtare which you can easily download from the internet, GIMP all in all is bassically a slightly downgraded photo shop and slightly less complex but at the end of the day, its great to use, ill probably do a review on it anouther time. Enough about gimp, bassically when the band approached me they origanlly had a vision of a traditional goodbye reprsenting a buriel, but unfortuantly they had gone the totally wrong way about it and designed a cover with loads of grave stones and crosses, this would be fine if they were a hardrock/metal band but they're more of a indie sorta * i loved you and now you broke my heart so my life is over but i dont need you blah blah blah* band. So instead of the morbid approach i went the other way and used the simple symbol of a rose to represent death and all the other wise morbid things that the previous album showed. This is my first piece of proffesional work, and i would be grateful for any feedback. thanks
