you suck at fonts...and your picture quality in a few of them are really low.
real dope, do you make free ones?
Some of them are FAR better then others. I liked the first one most. Keep working on shit, don't worry about making shit GANGSTER all the time. It's cool to spell stuff without symbols or other shit. You should make a Common cover and have it be Artistic and Wise. Instead of gangster.
not at all, but i charge basically on whats asked from me...Quote:

it all depends on what you want really
ooo tru tru, how mcuh you charge then, like exact prices?
pretty good on the top 2.. i gotta couple pics i want u to make me an album cover holla at me.. or w/e...
You overwork on your images. Add some sophistication to your art.
Also, like Cee said, the fonts are the weakest part of them.
And NEVER add a busy background behind text.
i can honestly say fonts are the my weak point, but its also been pleasing to see the final product on paper when theyre shipped to be printed, im open for suggestions as far as what effects i can learn...
I think you know enough effects or whatever. Those things you can
just look up on the net as you need them.
You should study principles of design cuz you seem to be ignoring
the basics.
thats true...i never once took any course in the 4 years of making covers...ive had alot of critisizm, but ive had more good feedback than bad and i make decent money doing it so it hasnt bothered me once...
Well you could make alot more money with a bit of real design techniques. I can't really add to what anybody else has said, except just work on getting a little more seamless designs. Some seem quite choppy and unprofessional, and I know they're not professional but I mean just in the quality, it takes away from the potential.
Do you work in large format? What sizes/dpi?
about 300 dpi, every printing company ive been too required me to have it 300 dpi at least
Though I should only speak for myself, work on your text. Also, don't use images with rough quality or else you'll find yourself trying to alter them with filters and other effects, which at times without the proper techniques will screw the pic even more. A crappy pic is a crappy pic. I like most of them though. There's just minor adjustments needed to tithy up your work. Keep at it.

is there any tutorials online i can look into for the fonts?

It'll be a good read if you're genuinely interested in design.
ROFL @ hustle simmons still lol.
You have good composition. Work on making your colors work and getting your pictures not to look so low quality. The overall product makes me feel like I'm looking at something some kid could've done in his 9th grade computer graphics class.
thanks for the real feedback yall, instead of the dumb asses that come in threads like ...your shit is gay...
i'm feelin it.looks dope
of course i can't fuck wit that shit like u did lol
