Vote For The Declaimeds New Album Design
 

So weve narrowed down our songs and got some decent stuff recorded. Now were thinking about what the artwork should be. None of these are final products, just ideas right now. some sort of feedback would be appreciated.

23 page views, 2 votes (and one is mine!!), no feedback??

c'mon people, whatcha like, whatcha dont like, what would you change??????

(not that any of this matters anyway, ill end up going with whichever the band as a whole agrees with, but im still looking for an outsiders P-O-V, even though nobody hear knows what our band sounds like, except for the few people ive described us to)

I like either of the last two.. They seem like the more proffesional and the fonts go with the designs better methinks. If it wasnt for the red and black writing across the first one, I woulda picked that though, if that means anything to you..

Exceeeept, the last two might not go with your bands' sound in the least, so I cant really say... Thats my view anyways , sorry if I was no help.

i agree with the red/black on the first one, and the title "teaching of future struggles" is a song that we dont play to often anymore and probably wont be on the disk anyway, but its got a nice ring to it so it made it into one of the choices. Im guessing from how the band has been talking that we may end up going with a version of either #2 or #4. (#4 defientely fits our band better, and #3 is a much more serious song that we play and its alot slower and more "depressing" but "the lines are drawn" (#2) is probably one or our favorite songs to play)

Righty ho, then with that information I shall vote for #4. It stands out more to me than number 2, and if it suits your sound then thats all the better. I like 'em, good luck with it all anyhoo.

i vote number 3 i like the name and the art work well anyway # 1 looks alot like a casualties cd cover so dont use that

ya, i was just talking to my drummer, im pretty sure #1 has been ruled out.

3 Definetley

Skulls & riots have been done to death on punk albums & 4 just looks cheap

I liked 3, but if its not the band's normal sound, its gonna appeal to the wrong people... Granted, not everyone judges by the cover , but still..

#4 looks alot better on the original i have, resizing it caused alot of distortion.

ya, i was weary about images that have been overdone, the riot scene just seemed to fit so well with the theme to the song "the lines are drawn" even though its not necessarily your typical "riot anthem" it is however a typical anti-establishment punk tune where as the song Addiction is a little harder to categorize cuz it wasnt written originally to be a punk song and still really isnt, i originally wrote it for acoustic but when we played it with the electrics it added alot of aggression that was missing. It definetly has a differant sound then the majority of our songs.

3 does it for me...the most subtle on the eye of the choices but it has the strongest impact.

Is addictions the name of a track Fenix?

ya, lyrics are here:

weve decided #4 is definetly going on a shirt, as for the album artwork, its still up in the air.

cool coll but ya should still go with 3

I would go with 2.

3 is ok, if you get rid of the word "addictions" from the image. Almost too cheesy if you ask me.

I accidently voted for #1. I like #2 the best.

i changed your vote..i feel like Florida during the election, fixing votes..hehe.

I like 4 & 2

I like the 4th one, I'd consider the 3rd, but the first two just look tacky. IMO I wouldn't buy either of the first two just by looking at them.

i like the third. the only thing is that the font needs to stand out a little less.

the font on the declaimed logo or the font for addictions?

I voted 3, i really like the art work.
But perhaps 'The Declaimed' logo would look better in white with a thin black outline?

the font that reads "the declaimed"

im decently versed if photoshop, maybe i could do some work for yeh?

go ahead and come up with something if ya want to take the time to do it, it would be cool to have some more designs. Im not all that great with photoshop even though i use it almost everyday, at the end of the month my work is paying for me to take a 4 day course in it which should be really cool to learn what kind of tricks the program can do and then ill probably come up with something similar to the ones above, just with a cleaner look to them.

yah totally go with three mdude p.s your pm box is full

cool, i cleared it out..

i think i know what your gonna ask, and i have them right here in front of me. I took a padded envelope from work so i can send it. since my nova got stolen, ive been having to take the bus to work and i leave my house at 530am and dont get home till after 7pm so i hadnt had a chance to go to the post office to get them sent. Im off work tomorrow and i have to go by the post office anyway, so ill have the 2 cds sent this weekend for sure. (ive been listening to them on the bus)

cool im sorry about your car... any way when i get those im gonna totally make you am tape (sorry no cd burner) of my local bands
