Hi John,

Here are a few variations of the cover design I've been working on. Let me know if any of these are moving in the right direction and we can fine tune them. Btw, the dot patterns on the top of the last two versions actually spells out "the polarity of technology" in brail. I thought it would make for a cool detail / easter egg

I really like it! All of the graphic design elements are pretty spot on with what I was envisioning. Could you please please please do a rendition of the graphics in purple and blue, then send all three to me as transparent pngs so I can just mess around with the central cover photo/do some rough sketches of what I might like or maybe even do some photo editing stuff? (And your art does seem to fit better now; I seem less bothered by its detail; I would just love a transparent png of the graphics to mess around with since I have my drawing tablet with me now).

I absolutely love the attention to detail (the barcodes, japanese text, mesh globes, etc) and that metallic title font is perfect. I'm really happy with it, thank you.

Hi John! Ive been working on refining the idea for the cover and decided to take a stab creating a japanese video game packaging style cover. All of the text can be updated, its currently there just to fill things out. Let me know what your thoughts are on this:

The last one is nice too. Maybe in the final version the text can be metallic looking with a bevel/reflections. Thanks!

All good! This is basically how I work through the process of finding something that works with what you have in mind. I did another treatment, this is more hard mixed contrast. Let me know if these are getting closer to what youre thinking about, dont worry about the actual graphic itself, that can be updated later, I just to get a sense of the overall aesthetic / vibe your shooting for:

However I just don't think that specific piece will work, since it's more detailed than I would like. There's too much information around the nameplates making it difficult to digest, so I think we'd need a different piece of art in a more simple style. 

Maybe I should nab my drawing tablet back off my fiancée for a few days and make some thumbnails of the kind of thing I want, then leave them to you to refine. I don't want to waste your time if I'm going to be super picky.

Once again, thank you so much for giving it a go. The braille idea definitely needs to make the final cover, or maybe I could design my own cryptology.

  • album progress is coming along nicely btw - massively cleaned up the kicks and bass in that track I showed you. I've nearly finished naming every track, and I'll make a forum channel here for the album progress spreadsheet once I do.

Cheers!
