help me decide on artwork for upcomming release

Post by oinkbanana »

I'm looking for comments on layout, technique, color selection, outlines.. etc. I'm pretty set on the font and its form, though I'm not married to the colors or size. The music is electro driven pop songs (verse, chorus, verse, chorus bridge, chorus outro) hidden behind a chaotic hailstorm of extreme frequencies, so I'd like the cover to be simple.

you can download 3 sample tunes here http://www.mediafire.com/?rdzlldeefdzb4
but if you don't want to download you can just take a peak at a track from last years album here

here's what I got so far:

:snax:

and the bunny ears is because i'd wear bunny ears when performing...

I like it brighter, but I think you should keep the effect on the letter lines.

^^ which filters are you talking about? that she's made up of 6 lavels of hues? do you prefer the First pic of her (where the levels are generally just messier, but its' the same effect)
edit: like this????

I like the comic book effect for this. it's a good suggestion.

I honestly dig it more without the comic effect. But, I'm just some jackass anyway.
