Vali, a couple of points I'd like you to have in mind and tell me what you think: for the front cover, I'd like the title to be a bit bigger; in my case I'd use for the title and the tracklist the Zurich BT Bold font which it's almost the same (or the same) used for the original Queen II album artwork, relative to this era/tour.

I'd also use another pic for the back cover, or it's that the effect you wanted for it? something like an old pic "lying" over the artwork? they're scanned by you from a book, right? did you want to keep that "shine" I see on some pics?

Keep the good work, I like it =)

Hi Olivier and Alex, many tks for your usual kind words !!

And Alex, many tks for your suggestions! I ... yeah, more or less agree with the title issue, using a bigger font. I´m using Verdana. Actually working on the Portland ´74 cover, will try a bigger size.

And regarding the back cover pic, I´ve been actually trying to obtain that precise effect.

I´m not scanning the pics, I´m just taking pictures from the "Classic Queen" book by Mick Rock with my digital camera (not enough money to reach the "Killer Queen" book ... I´ve spent much with a Red Special guitar :D).

Normally, I take several photos of the same picture, from different angles, using flash, not using it, etc. And I simply prefer the textures I obtain this way rather than using my scanner.

That shine you see is simply the reflection of the cammera´s flash. Up to now, I wanted some pictures to show this particular texture, as If anybody could feel the picture itself is ... "real", or can be "touched". My limited english avoids I can express what I want to tell you exactly :P ... I´m sorry !!

Besides this, with the back and booklet pictures for Rainbow ´74, a difusor effect was applied.

Ok, now I´ll continue working with Portland ´74 ... as a preview, I can say that the work will be more colourful this time !!

many thanks for your support !! really really aprctd !!

cheers everybody !!

Vali

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ?????? you´re gonna kill me, dude !!!

:)

no, it´s my pleasure .. really !! We all work for our passion, isn´t it?

Talking now a bit seriously ... when I see what I can do with these covers, or what Alex can do, or Jean ... what we all can do with a little bit of time, interest and creativity ... just a little bit! and then look at Queen Rock Montreal or ROTC artworks ...

please ...

Or maybe the cover of the single "Say It's Not True" :)

Thank you Vali, your artwork are really nice!
Especially the one for the Rainbow '74...

Hello everybody,

Hope you like it
Many tks for your support!

Vali

ps: ah! Alex, take a look at the front cover´s font size ;)

Great as always...
I appreciate the fact that the info.txt file is present in the artwork, all the precious information is on it, from lineage to tracklisting, so it's just... perfect ? Yes, that's the word !

Nice work, go on !

Regards,

Olivier,
France.

Thank you to both.
