i just put my dog to sleep. he was a 14 year old labrador and i had him since he was 5 weeks old. i have been listening to u2 like crazy and decided to finish my "long time in the making" compilations. could you please give me ideas as far as cover art goes? thanx

 

[kellyahern]

I'm so sorry Rick

 

[RickFly]

I'm sorry about your dog Losing a pet is so sad

For the cover do you want a through the years type of theme?

 

[RickFly]

thanx kitten, it is tough , here is the front cover for cd 1 and 2.

my compilation is going to have 6 studio cds and 4 live cds.
i want band and individual pics for the studio cds and also live pics for the live cds. they will be in jewel cases that will carry 2 cds in each one.

here is what i have for studio cd 1 and 2.

i dont really have a preference for making the entire cover art just the elevation era, or boy era. etc. really whatever looks good to me is what i want to do.

 

[RickFly]

here is the cover i have for studio cds 3 and 4

also please help w/ ideas for the back covers. i was thinking of having a really old pic of the band cerca. boy, october era ...

 

[kellyahern]

I'm not sure these are big enough pics

 

[kellyahern]

 

[kellyahern]

maybe you could shrink this one for one of the individual pics
