Custom CD cover art... [NOT dial-up friendly]
I've been download lots of concerts lately and I've become addicted to making my own cover art. Here are some examples (of completely legal recording...)
Anyone else ever make their own CD cover art? Care to share? I am always looking for new inspiration...
Please do not try to discuss where to get any of these shows, even though legal, it WILL get this thread locked.

Do you think you could create cover art for a cd I have?
It's the unreleased album, Entering A New Ride, by Big Audio Dynamite.
Here's the full story:

Here's the only known concept artwork:
The single cover on the left with the unreleased album on the right.
BTW, excellent cd artwork!

sure thing...
Things I need:
1)Show date and city/venue (optional, but it makes for nice information)
2) Track Listing (really no point without this)
3) Source of recording (if available)
4) Links to any logos/photos/band art that I could use. Hi-res is perferred, but I can work with lo-res also. If you don't know where any of this stuff can be found, just let me know and I'll look for some images. They might not be band related though.

Thanks! Photoshop it is. It's amazing how little I know about the program to. I really think I overuse the "opacity" and "blending options" functions. I would really like to learn more about some of the more advanced features. Every time I do one of these though, I figure out some new trick to make something look just right. It's pretty addictive.

It looks like this now:
I'm getting better as I go along.
Fonts are hard for me. I try to get something that is easy to read before I care if it really fits the design or not. Hopefully I'll be able to get to a point where I can find a happy medium between the two. Practice makes perfect!
Thanks for the constructive criticism. That is what I mainly posted this thread for. I love suggestions on what I should do different.
