What's with the Feng jeep ripoff in the last one?

Good stuff Thor. However it seems to suffer from poor image material (back and front gun) and is a little "seen before" stylewise.

I like the way the front is sleak and the backside is rough, and it has some striking and 'great' colours aswell.

my only gripe is the horrid orange tones that remind me more of an apple juice carton than anything else. also the typography is too.. blunt. plain. too fat. (fat as in too thick and coarse, not 'phat leet') it woulda been cool in a ministry album sleeve in the 80s (can you say Twitch) but not now. the choice for font is poor. i'd go with something with a little bit more sharpness, a bit more edge, something that's.. dirtier. i would have resorted in the usual deviantart-grunge-ingredients even though that's a commercial and design suicide. the gun in the backside looks fucking stupid, it'd look much better without it. it looks really out of place and.. in lack of a better word, pretentious. it looks just like you haven't been able to figure out anything that'd actually fit in it so you've just decided to use the gun. the black "3d" effect of the text is just wtf. why is that there. it has never looked good and this isn't the front cover for a 80s miami vice set porno. might as well have put some glitter and palms in it. on the front side, the text on the gun looks so fake its not even funny. and what's with the orange/white gradient in it? again, it looks horribly out of place. why isn't majority of it in that applejuicecarton-orange.. and the prodigy logo. so out of place yet again. the dark shade of red you've used in it just does not fit in the mix of the color scale from the gun photo versus the horrid gradient. either keep the logo too small or make it blatantly huge. just don't make it just.... hang in there in the mid-air looking like its from another design alltogether.

that's all. don't worry, the other "designs" aren't any better to me..

That is a BLATANT feng rip-off. Alert the authorities, thor64.

What gets me is how gritty and angsty all of these designs are . . . I mean, Prodigy used to make kitchy glowstick rave records. I wouldn't say that your design is notably bad in any respect, in fact it's probably the best one on there in terms of not being ridiculously dark . . . it's just that none of them fit my impression of the Prodge'.

But then I guess most people who would buy a Prodigy CD these days have probably never heard "Charlie" . . . no amount of "Smack My Bitch Up" can erase that one.

And yeah, that guy with the Feng sketch . . . real class act there.

Voted for you. Honestly hope you win.

*Meeeeeyoooowwwwwrrrr*

besides, as a late remark, we all know it's about weather experience, jericho and ruff in the jungle bizness and nothing else. nothing.

thor64 · Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 2:59 am

hmm. It's Feng Ripoff I believe too.

Thanks for the votes. I haven't done any cd covers before - so this is my first try. If I'd more time I'd drwan something myself.

Yeah some of the old Prodigy songs are still cool today - also the b-sides from the Prodge rules...

Very curious.

BTW, I gave you a vote Thor. Good luck.

that feng one is very suspicious... if that dude COULD possibly make that himself, possibly based on Feng's, why would he be so completely and utterly horrible with the rest of the piece
