Hello art work engineers! Prepare the design work!

[[FnG]magnolia]

I have been having a lot of fun in the South Island of NZ with the family. Mostly, we were cycling which gives a lot of time to ruminate and relax and then get really peed off when it rains but we did the Otago Rail Trail and then spent some time in Dunedin.

From there we went West to Te Anu and then on to the Milford Sounds (via Gunns Camp Site). This morning we set off from there and went to Queenstown Int Airport and came back to sunny Auckland.

Two weeks of awesome.

So on those two weeks I wrote three songs. Without instruments, just voice recording verses, choruses, drum parts and the rest on my trusty and old Samsung S3.

I have the music and will probably 'properly' record it over the next two weeks but I do need some help with the art to go with it.

The band name is Magnolia Down

The name of the EP is for the future anatomy

This is what I had so far:

Whilst amusing photoshops are of course welcome, it'd be quite nice to get some serious people with proper skills both mocking my original attempt and then showing me how it is properly done.

There'll be a 50 pound prize for the the one I like best and use.

Thanks in advance.

e: added larger pic for clarity. Thanks for efforts so far, much appreciated! 50 pounds is by paypal and is cash, not a weight value mrk

e2: Brizzles, that's awesome

Hey Mag, not sure if that image is supposed to be a link but if so, it not worky.

In weight or in currency? I'm on to your cunning word usage.

 

[StriderX]

What?

 

[doofer]

We need some actual samples from your well travelled trusty old S3 of your dulcet tones - For inspirational purposes you understand.

I am unable to endorse the OP's proposal at this time.

I want more than £50 to design you artwork

Maybe £5000 will do and 20% of profits of your EP

 

[Mynight]

Assumption your work is worth that .

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

This is track 2 of 3 with vocals still to be added to all 3.

Fairly sure I spend 90% of my time mixing and 10% of my time actually recording :/

 

[Jono8]

Needs more cowbell.

Fairly sure I spend 90% of my time mixing and 10% of my time actually recording :/

Tell me about it.

Hello popkids!

Guide track for the final song:

https://soundcloud.com/magnolia-down/anatomy-v1

I'm certain soundcloud downmix or apply some kind of compression before you hear what you're supposed to hear but there we are ~shrug~

I should have 4 songs finished with vocals, mixed and mastered by end of March.

 

[Nix]

Pleasantly surprised with your SoundCloud.

Good effort.

That song, flying machines on soundcloud, I can't hear the vocals over the instruments.

That song, flying machines on soundcloud, I can't hear the vocals over the instruments.

I know and that's intentional: they're out of tune I'll record the proper vocals later, these are just guide tracks to show what the song might sound like.

 

[JBod]

I think you have more chance of getting an idea for a TV show to air...
