CD cover

[sjlarue]

I'm working on a CD cover for a friend and I am just looking for CC on layout and adjustments needed and stuff like that. They want their picture (the two pictures of the guy are just fill ins) in it as well as the train. Fonts and text(other than the name of the album) haven't been determined yet so I just put in some place cards there as well. (Any suggestions on fonts?)

Every layer there is a smart object so changing it is not a big deal.

I know that there is sensor dust and stuff on the sky. I'm waiting till all of the adjustments and texts are done before I do that piece of work.



Thanks

I'm not sold on the text and the color that you are using. It needs to be bold and easily read. As it is it blends in too much with the background.
I like the idea of the train. Would you be able to maybe blend in the bottom so the edges are smoother and more gradual? Might also be cool to make it look more like its coming out of the clouds. You can clone some clouds in on a seprate layer over the train and then lower the opcaity level so they appear to me translucent

Yeah, those fonts were just to add as a place marker. I think they are going to want something Bold and block-y.

Someone else mentioned in another forum about the smoothing of the bottom. That should be no problem.

Another thing that was reminded to me was to leave room for bleeding...oops!
