couw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 thanks much Lon. I'm supposed to be other things really... so it's also a bit John: Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 WOW! AMAZING work!!! thanks for sharing! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 That is an OUTSTANDING cover! I'm not even going to bother posting mine. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 What the heck, I did the work... Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Pretty darned good work too Jeff! Dang I wish those would be reissued! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Thanks Lon! I haven't even heard these albums... I'd buy the reissues. Quote
couw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Everytime I see it, I wonder what the heck people were thinking when they designed that original Cirrus cover. That's plain scary! Kids having nightmares all over the planet! That Waiting cover must have inspired the long row of misspellings of Booby's name. Booby who? Booby Wutcwerson Quote

Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 that's a beaut!!!! "nicedriveway" as they say. Quote
couw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 that's a beaut!!!! "nicedriveway" as they say. I cut the heads off of many people for that one. Do you think it was worth it? Quote
neveronfriday Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 Two VERY quick shots: 01: Quote
neveronfriday Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Posted February 23, 2005 I like John's best. Great idea! Take that one (if you haven't already). Cheers! Quote

jazzbo Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Deus, those are cool too! You are the jewel tone visionary of color on covers! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 You guys do nice work! Damn! Quote
couw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) my art dierector has complained with me that the font on the Polish Jazz cover isn't Polish enough. I went and found the Tyfa font, the official state sponsored font designed in 1960, and guess what. It almost exactly like the Times I had already. Just that the lower case "f" is a *lot* cooler: http://www.stormtype.com/tyfa.html maybe like so then? Edited February 23, 2005 by couw Quote
couw Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 and again, cool covers deus-man! I managed to spiff up the Hutch to usuable size, it's 200kb at 150 dpi 12,1x12cm mail me if you want it. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I know Couw's cover is incredible, but I have to keep trying... Quote
neveronfriday Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Nice! Just to save a link to some inspiration, I'll place this one here (wonder how long this has been up/will be up): Blue Note Covers Cheers! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Thanks Lon! Thanks for that link Deus! Quote
Jim Dye Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) I just love threads like this. John, your Jazz in Poland (v.2) is sublime, as are so many of your designs. Jeff, you've got a gift. Keep 'em coming. There is such an art to cropping pictures. I just redid the welcome page on my site. I don't quite like the font, but it's a start. Off topic? yeah, but what the heck. Edited February 24, 2005 by Jim Dye Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 That's a cool photo, Jim! Thanks for the kind words. Quote
couw Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I know Couw's cover is incredible, but I have to keep trying... this is cool! you must be sponsored by Black Ink inc. Quote
