[Request] CD Cover and possible T-Shirt design

[Heftydogg]

Hey GFX Forum,

A buddy of mine is working on his first solo album and wanted some help designing a CD Cover and maybe some t-shirt designs, so I came to the most skilled artists I know! This was his description for the cover:

"The CD title at this point is going to be "Riles P is...The Independent Individual" and I was thinking the cover could be relatively simple with maybe an image of the Madison capitol building somewhere. There doesn't have to be one but i though it might look cool. I was also thinking we could maybe have the words "Independent" and "Individual" both coming off of the same "i-n-d" somehow, know what I'm saying? (Since they both start with i-n-d) Those were just some random ideas I came up with but really I'm up for anything."

Here is the google images link for the Madison, Wisconsin capitol building to use as the main render:
madison capitol - Google Search
If it helps at all, he's an up and coming hip-hop/rap artist. I'm assuming for the second part of the CD's title that he wants something like IND a few sizes bigger so you can fit "ependent" and "ividual" on top of eachother, sharing the same prefix; but feel free to interpret it another way.

As always, it's all open to creativity! I'd encourage anyone to give this a shot, I'll rep all contributions with +6. There were no specific requests for the T-shirt design, but if you would like to whip something up from the CD cover details, that would be great too!

Thanks a lot guys, myself and my friend really appreciate it!

EDIT: Here had a go:


EDIT2: let me know i'll land try to change the size.

He didn't specify a certain size, but I think the standard size for the front of a CD is 4.75" x 4.75". If you're doing it at 300dpi it's gonna be 1425x1425 pixels.

Looks alright, besides the typo in the title, could use a little more creativity than pasting the render and adding the text. Can you fix the spelling and maybe try to work the text into the picture more? I definitely appreciate the speed and effort though! +6

Other submissions still encouraged! =)

any suggestions on what to do. I can't really think of any ways to make it better for C-D cover.

EDIT: done with the typo.

I see you want the cover done but do you also want it to fold over into the spine?

He hasn't said anything about the back cover or spine, so I'm assuming he's just looking for a banging front cover at the moment.

@ Narudan
Wow, very nice man, you've always done impressive work for me. +Rep. I'll forward yours and Dobb's on to my friend and see what he thinks!

Still accepting more submissions, for the rep if anything!
