I feel you on the text, but that is how the customer wanted it. I had a way different title layout. It is hard being a designer making things how you want it, and the customer wants it different.
word, ya some customers dont know what they are talking about. You gotta let em know from the designers point of view that certain shit will throw it off. CD looks throwed though man keep it up.
Clean, nice pic too, I dont care for the gray slab under the font on the cover though. I think the font would have look better stroked. But as you said. What the cust wants is vital.
