School made me do it...

[test-object]

This was an assignement on school. 2 CDs, 2 CD-covers and 2 A3s in style of your CDs...
I have to admit: The pictures on the left are all stolen from deviant. It was allowed for once. Tell me which one you like/critique. Please no randomness or spamming this time. Don't go chit-chatting with each other. I want an honest opinion... thx in advance.

I'm bumping this so someone else can give me some REAL advice...
I'm really not happy with a gay little: "it's nice"

If you want advice, I'll give you some, but first you'll have to tell me the theme and other details about the project.

Your teacher told you that you fail horribly yet? It's not your work if you leach an image off deviant art and slap some shitty typeface over it.

All in all It's nice

...aaand where you got the photographs you used.

The first CD looks quite good, but the rest all look like you've just haphazardly slapped some skewed text on them at random. If you're gonna use other people's work, you should probibly try to incorporate your text more, eg; on the bottom left A3 with the telleys on it, you could incorporate a word form the album name into each screen, and run it through a couple of filters in whatever program you use to make out a title. The other A3's text works quite well, but it's corresponding cd sleeve and transfer just don't work. The pictures seem far too cluttered, if you're going for this sort of stuff, try to find source pictures with larger surfaces or any similarly-coloured portions so you can make the text stand out on it's own, rather than having to add that ugly blurred square type thing just so your audience can read it.
Hope some of that helps!

If you compiled those photographs, nice work.

The type treatment is pretty poor, if that was part of the assignment.

You really have to look at how type is applied to photo's etc or in this case album covers.

Type is a bitch, I have to study that shit >.>

Ah and advice, well the second one is aligned to far to the left... and for the bottom ones you constricted the type into a small area.

Never squeeze type or distress it unless it really works for what your doing.

Look up type terms such as leading, kerning and tracking.

You'll be surprised how the most minute changes effects the overall picture.

err, so what did you acctually do?

Helped a lot. Nice idea with the text in the tv-screens ^^

I had to make a composition of different pics or pieces of those pics + I had to put in my name, class, year and which lesson. It had to represent what you expect from Multimedia and Photography.

Photography are all my pictures. Multimedia are all stolen, I admit it, and that's the only time I was allowed to take something of the internet. I slapped a few pics together.

Mmmh... nicely spotted. I'll make sure it won't happen again ^^

Well, took all photographs on the Photography theme, and tried to find a good composition.
I know, I'm not the best photographer.
