Solid stuff so far and welcome to the boards.

First one is definatly the best, concerning a mixture between design and approach. At least my eye say so. You could definatly use more variation within vour graphic design. See, most of the time there seems to be no variation with typo and logs, only small ones, but these are insignifant. It seems like the design for one band, but from the titels I read several names. So, here you could try to expand your visaulity.

Cheers and good luck
Marko

Mark D: Hey, thanks for the comments. ( I love your stuff btw) Yeah I see what you mean about the text. Most of these were done around the same time period, and I really didn't spend any time with the text at all, I more just picked a font and a placement and went with it. I was more concentrating on the image, but I think you're right, I should put more thought into the text/design.

I like the second to last the best. Nothing useful to say; as album covers I feel they all work, though I don't know the bands. Welcome to the board! :chug:
