Thanks =) I just looked that up and I see what you mean with the vertical text and the contrast!

I think it's quite nice. I agree with one of the above posts though, that you're really ought to learn Illustrator as at some point you'll probably need that more than Photoshop,and you'll get better quality line graphics. Impressive for your first attempt though!

Thaaanks a lot =) Yeah i seriously do need to learn xD i'm on summer holiday from tomorrow so i'm definitely hoping to have learnt at least the basics of Illustrator, Indesign and After Effects but the end of summer =D

Btw everyone, i've changed the spacing of the album title but the file is too big to upload onto here atm so i'll find a way of attaching it at some point! xD

Maybe you should look at some examples of CD artwork. Go into HMV and take a look. Go onto blogs such as itsnicethat, visuelle, ffffound etc and look at examples.

Above all ... remember graphic design is not about making something look nice and using the latest photoshop tool you've learnt, it's about communication. With CD artwork the graphic elements need to communicate the music and the artist. Currently I am not sure what your design communicates about the music or the artist.

Really good art piece, very vintage looking :)

Ah thats a good point! Thanks for your feedback =) Well the artist kind of does different styles for each song but if you had to give them a collective genre i guess they would all fit around the RnB/Soul style with live vocals...if that makes any kind of sense xD but i'll check out some more CD artwork and try out some different ideas with your advice in mind =)
