Artwork for tracks
I'm just wondering what programs you guys use for making the artwork for your tracks, or the artwork for your avatars on forums like this?
I've tried using a few photo edting/graphic design programs, and never really end up with anything worth a wank! The programs I've tried have shocking fonts.
What I mainly want to make is like a 'profile picture' as such, something original that I can use as my picture on soundlcoud, here, myspace, facebook etc - with decent graphics and font!
Any pointers would be much appreciated!

Re: Artwork for tracks
I just do a Google Image search based on whatever I've called the track and pick something I like. For example;
- Mysterious Cave
- Clouds Rolling By
- Shirts Obscuring The Light

Re: Artwork for tracks
Fair point! But that's kinda lazy

I mean something like these....




Obviously not exactly this, but something of this nature with my name - 'Bass Jacka' as the text.
I actually want to make some artwork, not just save a picture from google. Thanks though man!

Re: Artwork for tracks
For those logos go on dafont.com and find a shitty font, load up photoshop, layer some renders from planetrenders.net and slap some edgy brushes over it then add the font on top.
My logo is shit but the font is unique (saw it in a guitar swirling video and made a template from the outline of the swirl.) Chucked it in a circle with a transparent background so now I do what wub does every time I upload a song but paste the image into the back of my template

Did mine in photoshop. Not exactly groundbreaking, just generic dark warehouse pic as background, layered black on top so that the text has more contrast and stands out more, added some shadow/outline light and done!

Re: Artwork for tracks
It's really easy, mine's just some dirty brushes for the background with a filtered gradient over the top and I just found a font that I liked and edited it a bit
Re: Artwork for tracks
Yea, there isn't really anything special about those images you posted. GIMP is a good, free image program that functions mostly like Photoshop.
You have a camera on your phone, yes? Go take some pictures, get some fonts, make images. Or higher a graphic designer. If you are in university I'm sure you can find a to-be graphic artist that wouldn't mind adding something to their portfolio.

Re: Artwork for tracks
I drew a load of animals on paint for my track art once but then i decided it was a bit too post ironic yagetme.
Now I leave it blank for now as I let the music speak for itself. True art needs no visual crutch!

What is in your avatar's mouth?
I mean, I thought it was smoke but it seems like her cheeks are filled too, like its tissue or something.

Re: Artwork for tracks
Paint.net is a free photo editing software almost identical to photoshop. I created my avatar in it.
