I totally agree. I just didn't want to disregard the aspect of flow.

Ok, i had another go at the typography...simpler font, played with the lline-spacing, characters and kerning. better? (again, this is lo-fi for this page. I'll upload the high-res version to wherever this gets hosted).

Sorry for the earlier versions - i was trying to squeeze some photo effects out of a circa-2002 program with some pretty limited fonts. I think the photo tratment worked fine. Finally got access to a more current package to do a more prof. job on the type.

I'll try to whip up a back cover with the proposed track order. Does anyone (besides me) still worry about printing cover art and burning physical cds for downloads? Or do you just upload art to itunes or ipod? As i've stated around these forums before, i like something tangible and semi-permanent, even if in obsolete form, rather than just digisposable. But that just might be me alone. So, is a back cover necessary (especially if folks want to change the track order from Professor's suggestion)?

I like how the cover is looking... it is simpler and the spacing makes it look better.

As a suggestion, while it is important that the words stand out against the backgound i am always more pleased when i take something like this... when i am happy where the type is and what it says - then i take the image as a whole (image and text) and i process it through an effect of some sort in photoshop... perhaps not something to strong... but something which gives the whole composition a bit more unity and ties the two componants together more visually...

to me it just looks more professional and permanent.


But as it looks now i am quite happy, as you say yourself with a higher quality rendering on another program it will automatically look stronger.


Great job!

I like the cover very much Holden. I think a backcover is a nice extra, too.

[Professor]

would you guys be ok if i threw in a track, just to round it out to 10?

hey holden, can you make it black and white? kind of saturate the borders you already have? b&w or shades of grey?

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

I like it now. I don't like the idea of black and white, but it would tie in to the Underworld etho typa kinda thing.

How am I supposed to get a copy of this when it's finally all done? My printer hasn't worked in months too.

[Future Proof]

Professor, you've got mail

Also, if you want to submit a track Professor I'd say go ahead, no sense in doing all the work you've done and not give yourself a chance to host a track of your own. Thanks again!

[Professor]

so, i'm finished with the files... who do i send the link to? it's uploading to sendspace now.

[Professor]

i have uploaded the link to sendspace. 11 tracks. so who gets it?
