[help] Album Art

I am creating album art for my girlfriend's band, does this look good?

Their name is "Better In Blood" and they aren't quite sure what the album's name is,

that is why I put "Don't Know Yet" at the bottom instead of the album name, for now.

Nice work Lou...

You might wanna make the center image a little less pixelated, though - it detracts from the overall feel of the cover.

Also, I'm not sure what it is, but it feels... Lacking. Just like there's an indescribable something missing...

i was thinking that too but refrained from posting.

i think its the two bar layout in combination with the font... the font is a bit to 'corporate' or sterile or something.

the colour and the image are good, and catch your eye, but the packaging throws it off(i think)... its music; you want the image in front of you like your connected to it but that layout makes it feel detached. Its almost like its a bit too professional, like its a webpage design on a cd cover.

i don't know if that makes sense, maybe not

kindof depends on the kindof music she plays too.

edit: by packaging i mean the two bar layout.

Exactly, RealityBath...

Lou, for reference, here are a few covers that I really like, and might be of inspiration to you:

YourCodeNameIs:Milo - "All Roads To Fault"

Metric - "Old World Underground, Where Are You Now"

The Watchmen - "Silent Radar"

Cool idea. I think the image might be a bit too "senior picture"-ish though.

definitely need to make the image less pixelated... but as for the rest of it... I am sort of like steviebm. I think it is missing something, but I cannot place my finger on it. sorry

Well that grayish area on the right is something I'm going to work on when I get other pictures of the band, instead of just her. Thanks for the other covers to look at Stevie, I was actually lookin' at this one, I liked that, so I think I'm going to work with that space on the right, but she seems to like that pixely, sparkley look. I did the photomanip a while ago, and she wanted it on the cover of her album, so I did this.

Thanks for all your comments/suggestions.

I think a blur effect would fit than the pixelated effect. Like Stevie said, it kind of disturbes the overall impression of the album.
