Cover Design idea for 'Sticks & Stones'

Inverted everything but the text and then shifted that across,
i tried the text in the middle but it looked squashed up. The band 
seem pleased with it so we'll leave it there!

 Ahh slight problem there, the text is covered up by
the profile pic =(

Revised version using blurring and more layers for depth. A 
border of dark and sunset colours make the central bones/band 
 logo the focal point of the image.




My first design to show the band was based on
the 'young the giant' design. after critique this was
seen as too much/too bold for the band. it was suggested
to have a very plain design, possibly with some imagery 
representing space etc, but in a similar style to the original
album cover which was chosen. 


This is an album cover that represents a similar 
acoustic 'innocent' style.


Although the 'pirate' theme is wanted, i'd like to stay
away from cliche designs, suggesting this as a design
style got us thinking about what the band represents,
a more 'innocent' design approach should fit the music


The band suggested this for a logo/
facebook cover design for me to work from.

My favourite grand design


Album artwork for "sticks & stones" needs logo and album name + back cover


Just waiting on the band to finish and record the final tracks so
I can make the back cover, then add an Album title to the cover
