Front Cover for the rakim-n.y.c mixtape

[jhp]

I myself don't care for it much but someone said they wanted to see it so I'm posting it. The back and front look way different. Not really the style I like to do but he wanted it and liked it so I guess that's all that matters.

Note my logo and artwork by text are not on the real cover I added them for the web version

THE CONCEPT AND EXECUTION SEEM BAKWARDS. IT'S CALLED DEPTH OF FIELD. IN OTHA WORDS, YOU SHOULD'VE BLURRED THE BAKgROUND AND SHARPENED THE SUBJECT SO IT COULD STIK OUT, NOT THE OTHA WAY AROUND. ALSO YOU MIgHT WANNA gIVE YOURSELF 1/8 TO 1/4 BORDER SO YOUR WORDS WON'T BE PLACED TOO CLOSE TO THE EDgE AND MIgHT gET CROPPED OFF DURIN' PRINT.

well that's what I'm saying as far as my style he wanted that glossy burn look to him.
note this is the web version of the cover after it would be cut the bleed line was removed already for this version. Thanks for the feed.
