The Products of Procrastinatory Design
2 min read
I've been considering uploading my many re-designed album covers for a while now, and I've finally made a decision on the matter.
As all of you know, I love soundtracks. Unfortunately though, soundtrack covers are usually a little lackluster. Granted, some are better than others, but too much of my music library was filled with rushed, gaudy, or otherwise bad design. So I started making my own.
Of course, I'm an amateur, so you'll probably find yourself liking the originals more than my own at times. I don't take offense at this, and I welcome criticism – I frequently go back to covers I've made and make changes.
I'll be briefly describing my process for each one and my own thoughts about what can be improved. I won't show the old and new side-by-side (though I considered it) because, more often than not, the colors would conflict with each other and the image with more contrast would seem more prominent. Instead, I'll be including a link to a version of the original cover with the best quality I can.
I've also lost track of a lot of the links to various resources I used during the making of the album covers, so if you recognize something, please tell me! I'll be including some similar disclaimer in all of the upload descriptions.
All right! Off to upload and write.

Well, 
dared me to do this, so I might as well. I'm actually a little excited, but I don't know why.
Comment in my journal and I'll answer these questions for you.
1. Tell you something I learned about by looking at your DA page for 13 seconds.
2. Tell you a color you remind me of.
3. Tell you my first memory of you.
4. Tell you what movie, tv, or video game character you remind me of.
5. Ask you a question, and you must answer.
6. Tell you something I like about you.
7. Give you a nickname.
8. Tell you the object that is to the left of me.
9. Dare you to post this in your journal.
