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!
