I have some album cover thoughts! 2 is my favorite; it feels like a portal and draws my eyes in, it’s got dimension, and I dig the collage vibe—the tape on the edges is a nice touch, and I think you could easily add a title to it à la 4. The hand drawn-looking title reads well over a photo for me.

1 feels the flattest to me and doesn’t have the same collage energy as the rest. It could do with some sort of black and white element or background like 2. I also like 3, but the greyscale/color combo of 2 takes it up a notch higher for me.

PS: Keeping my hand meat away from any and all cicadas.

ooo thank you! i agree with the b&w / colour giving it dimension. i feel like for the music as well it fits, because there's, like, emotional range in the songs. i liked 3 but have been getting some feedback that it's a bit too busy or might alienate some of my audience because it looks 'twee' lol. have to appeal to all the demographics!

I keep changing my mind about the album covers! I like all of them for different reasons. Is the mountain in #1 Mt St Helens or am I just projecting because it's my favorite mountain (volcano!)? The contrast between black and white and color in #2 really appeals to me. I think #2 but with the title from #4 would be my choice. But I really like the little mountain drawing from #3 too!
