CD cover part 2

[sjlarue]

Well after this thread:
CD cover

and a major computer problem.
I was finally able to get back to the cover. I am working on the middle clouds where they will touch the train, but I need some other things from the artists first.

CC welcome.

I think you did a good job putting all the elements together, but overall, I am not thrilled with the "look" of it. It seems dated to me, like something from the 70's. Now you may wonder what I mean because it doesn't contain what we usually consider 70's style with the crazy lettering and colors, but what I mean is it looks like Christian artwork on albums from that time. I just think it is too hokey for my taste. Like I said, good in the execution, though.

I understand. You should hear their music...it's 70/early 80ish

Thanks

I can tell.

Maybe if their picture wasn't on it I wouldn't have the hokey feeling.

Just thought of something else:

I wonder if having the train running out of the frame instead of right at you is a mistake. I am coming from when I worked for newspapers and you never wanted someone facing out of the frame. Rules are made to be broken, but I am always afraid to be the one who breaks them.
