Hello my artistic friends, how are you today

Magnatune & I will soon be putting out a double CD of Creative Commons-licensed ccMixter remixes of songs off I Don’t Know What I’m Doing. It’s a pretty awesome project that shows a lot of the super wickedness that can come out of the Creative Commons. Only hitch right now is: OMG we need album art!

I have no visual arts talent, so I’d really appreciate some help. I need four pieces of artwork: the cover, reverse side of the cover, tray card (back) and the CD itself.  (If you need the dimensions they’re here under jewel case print dimensions.)

The title is “Mixter Two: Brad Sucks / I Don’t Know What I’m Doing“. Even if you (like me) have no artistic skills, you could contribute by rifling through the Creative Commons Search (particularly Flickr) for photos or drawings that might make good album art material (make sure to check the two boxes at the top for photos that can be remixed & used commercially).

I don’t have much to offer other than eternal peace in heaven. We’ll credit you on the album and I’ll send you some CDs and buttons and maybe a letter explaining how nice I think you are.

Post anything you got in these comments, my forums or email me directly. Thank you!

Should there be a place left for the titles of all the tracks, UPC code, production information, and/or anything else? If so, should they be somewhere specific?

Track list on the back (tray). UPC will go over the art so there’s no need to leave space.

Basically if you want to do some mockups we can then hammer out the details after.

Hey, I have some images you could use…they’re my own photoshopped “masterpieces” so I don’t know how much you’d really want them, but you are free to use them as you wish:

playing with sticks on mars

this bridge i drive on my way to work.

easiest heart to break.

i just plain like this.

Hope the img tags show up. Best of luck on your album art!
