Two New Songs From Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band

I need to centre the Overboard a bit better, and the text outline I will try as black...

... time to put the kids to bed... then I will continue!

If it's not too much effort could you do it the basically the same way but use all capitals for the "MAN OVERBOARD" title?

Here it is.  Does it look better with a black border, or as above with a white border (with shading)

The black border makes it stand out more but the white with shading makes it look more like it's part of the preserver.

Here's the black border in uppercase...

Fundy, can you make these changes to the title?  Move "Man" to the top of the float and center it?  Center "Overboard" on the bottom?  Change the font to white and highlight with a black around theouter rim?  If not, plain white will do.

Fundy...secretary for hire.       

Sort of.  We let him hang around us for favors.  We are just that cool here!

I completely agree.  Both are good for their own reasons.

Fundy, thanks for making the change to all-caps, I think it stands out better that way.
Of course it's compeltely up to Alldat to decide since technically it is his album, but if he has half a brain he will take our advice!!!!

Where did I put my Ban Hammer?  All hail the Ban Hammer!!! 

I actually agree with Gary.  Just the white lettering makes the title seem like part of the preserver.  The black border makes it pop!  I like that one!  Unless someone has a better idea, I am willing to run with this and give Fundy full credit for his work.  You have done well, Pete!

I agree, great job Peter. 

I couldn't have done this work without everyone else's input... especially alldat, for if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be an album for the artwork to go with.

You are a complete goofball.  
And I'm going to insist on taking a consulting credit from the album art (especially if Alldat uses the flag on the back cover). 

Okay, so I have done a few little tweaks for the CD cover. 
1 - I've now centralised the image,
2 - I've made it square so it should print with the right aspect! 
3 - I've created a larger image to improve the quality
4 - I've moved the words in the centre of the lifesaver so they are more equally spaced
5 - Also, I've added a few more scratches on the MAN OVERBOARD words to make them look a bit more real.

P.s. I've also attached a subtle Staybrite version in our appreciation of his consultation.

Tell me what you think...

Oh look, Staybrite, that scratch looks just like your head. Reminds me of the time I once saw a piece of toast with the image of Elvis baked into the surface.

That's it you are all on a temporary ban!!!!!

Nah, nah still here.

                                        

It was a very short ban???

Nah. SB is all bluster...he's actually gentle as a kitten.

Staybrite the Gentle.  Distant cousin of Elkhorn the Downtrodden.

My bark is worse than my bite.....though I might pee on your leg if your not watching.
