I was listening to Gorilla vs. Bear - a mix they made on their site - and started thinking about mixtape covers. There's a lot of excellent art found in music. I showed Madonna's CD from Graphic Therapy earlier. Here's the cover for the feb. mix at GvsB:
I like the silhouette and the blurred background. It's simple, with text on the top left and right only, although I think the text would look cool on the bottom, against the black background.
Anyway, here are some more mixtape covers that are pretty cool:
Both of these have a splatter effect that I like. The logo at the bottom looks kind of 80's to me, probably because of the extended lines, wings and neon colors. I don't like the logo that much, but I love the photo. The top tape is opposite for me, Not a huge fan of the photo, but I like the logo, although I think it could look neater, but it goes with the theme of the piece.
I also love the illustration in Big Krit's cover art:
The blue, purples, and grays - along with the yellow - look great. And I love the dichotomy used in the illustration itself.
