All clownin aside its alright...Im not a graphic designer..but its just boring 206 gang member...thats the title but I feel the picture should reflect the title,make it where It would catch someones eye and they would be curious enough to at least pick it up and read the tracklisting...with this here I would probably keep going..Its my opinion that if an artist spends little thougfht in concept of cover.then I might think he may put that same kind of effort in the music...again I aint hating..Im just speaking from a consumers perspective,Im35 and have a massive collection of rap c,.ds and even more tapes well over 1000...and alot of those are products I bought without knowing of artist.I want something no one else is listening to..something new and different..or just good music..so it was the covers of these that made me interested initially.

1. The background is not an image, it is a texture. Use it t layer over the 206 text. The 206 needs to be centered. It is way off.
2. There is no real subject matter, other than the goofy looking pictures of you guys in there. You need something better.
3. the picture cutout is HORRIBLE. dont use a large eraser to blend photos in, TAKE YOUR TIME. patience is the only way to correctly cut a photo out.
4. there is a grey rectangle at the bottom right of the cover. It needs to be taken out,. You might not notice it on the screen, but on print you will. And remember if you are working on a 72 dpi resolution (which i can tell you are) the cover will NEVER print. you need 300 dpi min. for a quality print.
The cd title, graphics, and subject matter seem to SCREAM out for acceptance. These are the cases where acceptance will not be found. In all honesty, pay a professional photographer and designer. This cover is no good. There is NOTHING to keep in it. Start from scratch, and tell "your boy" to wear a black hoodie and cover his face. It just looks goofy the way u two are just staring at the GANGSTER text..
And if you want to put that seattle tower in, DONT HIDE IT IN THE TEXT! Get a quality photograph of you and your homie in front of it! Sorry if i was harsh, but honesty is more valuable in this business then pipe dreams!
