I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE... HERE THEY ARE, I JUST PICKED THEM UP OFF THE INTERNET, SO GIRL WAS BORED, BUT I THINK THEY ARE ALRIGHT, THEY HAVE A SENCE OF FRESHNESS ABOUT THEM... Oddly enough, she did get the font from me, Friz Quadrata, gotta love it.

Sorry, but when I see these two images, I see something along the lines of a violent explosion. The original covers were comptemplative and complex, but still had a calmness about them, as well as a 'matching' quality between them due to the seperate images on the right side. Also, I've noticed that whenever the CT use a more 'plain' style font rather than a script-type one, the artwork dominates the cover, not the name. In your images, the group name and album titles smack me in the face, then distract from the artwork, which I feel gives it's all in about 5 seconds. Looking at the original covers of these two works, I feel as though after years and years of looking at it, there's still more to find. You asked us to be honest, so I hope I haven't offended you. They're not bad, but not right for CT, at least to me. I do like how the 'Echoes' cover has a sort of trinity. Kind of representing the three of them, but at the same time the images seem to be too identical to each other. But anyway, what would I know. I'm not a graphic artist!:rolleyes: Hope this helps!

You are what, zed? A Graffic artist, or cool?;) Or maybe you're both!:D
Sorry to assume, erinn, but honestly it makes no difference to me who did them. I just don't think they're suitable for CT covers.

You know as well as I do that I normally get a bit wordy.
On this occasion, may I just say that these suck.
also might i add that zed has 666 posts.
