you are very welcome.

I'm not sure if my PM got to you because I have had trouble with my PC recently but could you tell me what font you use for your covers

I had a go at doing a cover for what could be a future single 542

[Practising Troublemaker]

This isn't meant to be too serious 543

[The Youngest]

GOD! These are brilliant! :D I love the first one. Sanctury should make that the cover of the next Moz album! Superb!

Evidence of my experiments:545

This is a cool thread. I like all the covers.

Here are mine I did as a goof in the style of jo slee/morrissey from waayyy back:

CD1: Photo from the film "Open City" by Roberto Rossellini. Cover star: Anna Magnani (the best bits of her, anyway)

CD2: Photo of a fidgety alter boy by Gianni Berengo Gardin from 1956

CD3: Photo from the film "Blow Up" by Michelangelo Antonioni. Cover star may be Vanessa Redgrave (don't remember her ever looking that good) **Seriously, the cover star is Veruschka Von Lehndorff.

[The Youngest]

WOW! All of these are brilliant!

[Practising Troublemaker]

Great work, keep it up!!

[Practising Troublemaker]

I just can't stop550

[Practising Troublemaker]

Can we produce covers from other eras?, or should we stick with ringleader?

[Practising Troublemaker]

I'm quite pleased with this one 551

[The Youngest]

I think we should do every era. Why stick to ringleaders?

[Practising Troublemaker]

yes lets, and perhaps kick off some smiths?

Too far, :D Only kiddin', There are a few Smiths pics I've wanted to use for ages. I'll get to work now and upload my work tomorrow.

[Practising Troublemaker]

well that makes 2 of us:)

[Spicer]

Thanks for uploading that font it will come in handy with a little art project I've planned for the weekend!

Oh, what the hell! Let me add one more in honor of the Christian Dior clip:

She's not Vanessa Redgrave. It's Veruschka. Have you ever watched the film?:confused:

[Alf Button]

A couple of quick efforts..... I have many more which I hope to show on a website of my own someday.... I've also included a few created for the Southpaw period which I posted a few weeks back

[Desert Bee]

Those sleeves are far superior to any of the current Moz sleeves. I think that Moz should be hiring you guys to design his sleeves.

Good job.

Good work! The second one is a beautiful picture, where did you get that / does it exist in an even bigger version?

Sorry, Kewpie. I made a poor joke at the expense of Venessa Redgrave. I regret the remark.

Carry on.

[Practising Troublemaker]

a couple more:558 559

[Alf Button]

Find within logo as requested... I downloaded the RCA part then added the Victor...hope it's O.K.....plus a couple more earlier efforts
Cheers

[Alf Button]

Raiding the archives...... a couple of Moz sleeves produced for a boxset for a true friend, comprising each album and relevant B-sides, .... each sleeve reflected the original albums' colour scheme, and font wherever possible.
The Smiths artwork is for another boxset, this being the sleeve for the entire collection.

[Reggie Kray]

These are all really good!

How about some from the Kill Uncle or Quarry days, using other pictures (other than Moz...)

The film still trio of YHKM, TYWTML and TMYAWOA in the beginning of these posts are especially intriguing...

keep up the good work!

[Alf Button]

An alternative Quarry.....

CD6: "L'Avventura" (1960) by Michelangelo Antonioni

CD7: More wholesome ice cream fun. From Luchino Visconti "Ossessione" (1943)

You need to go to:
Control Panel-Appearance and Themes-Fonts.
Then just paste the font in there. It should be avaliable on every program that uses text.

Aw! The Youngest is brilliant! All the covers on this thread have been great! There are some true artists on here!

[Chartres]

Here are some tries made in Paint, probably terrible. Tried to make some covers for cassette tapes aswell, a bit of nostalgia.

CD1: Fellini himself
Cassette1: Humphrey Bogart
Cassette2: Belive it's from a Fellini film.
Cassette3: Malcolm MacDowell from A Clockwork Orange

I LOVE the "youngest"...If I had Morrissey's ear, I would tell him to re-release it with that cover art. Perhaps that image could even be used for "the father who must be killed"...? (if that were ever released as a single)

[Ambrosia]

The Youngest and MrRoboto: thanks a lot, you're kind! :o I've been lucky anyway:I found that pic and thought:"wow,it's perfect!". I should find my Accattone vhs and check if it's a movie still, or just a pics of that period: I'm curious, 'cause the photo is cute and I wanna know if it's to Pasolini's credit. It could be also the cover of "the father...": that song surely deserves a cover too, I'll think about it!

I LOVE THIS! Morrissey should re-release In The Future When Alls Well and put this on the cover!

[mishima]

Can i ask, which font is being used on 'the smiths' covers?

[Alf Button]

For "Is That Clever?" I used Bodini MT Condensed.....the others were lost to memory some time ago.
One for the boxset......?

[Ambrosia]

I've used Times New Romans, but probably is different from the right one.

[mozmic_dancer]

Can i ask, which font is being used on 'the smiths' covers?

Optima Bold was used on the first album and the singles up to 84. On the Meat is Murder album, Antique Olive was used. After 84, there was a host of fonts used like Bodoni (QID).

Woooooo Hooooooo, I have recieved wonderful news, I am going into year 11 at my high school and part my Media Studies course this year is CD Covers. At last a piece of work I will enjoy:)

p.s. I hope Morrissey CD covers will do for my teacher:D

[Pudsey]

I like quite a few of these covers! Where do you all get your high quality Morrissey/Smiths pictures? I'd appreciate some help..

I think it would be fun to make covers of the new single. :D
Here are two I did earlier
What do you think?

I like it. You made the photo a sepia print? Nice. I'm excited too that another single is coming out soon.

Are you the one taking cd design in school or was it Troublemaker? Reason why I'm asking is because I'm interested in an update on how the class was going. I was also wondering if the final project would be something like a 3-D CD package of some sort. Maybe a possible idea could be Morrissey's singles collected in a biscuit tin or something? :D A shoebox? A hatbox? (A Hatbox of Hollow :eek: )

Errm, maybe not. Anyway, I found a nice website that has cd design programs as well as case studies:

Ey, what about a contest?

The best sleeve for "I Just Want To...".

Hey, I am just going to tell you that due to some mess up with the media department at school the CD design course was put of for ages, but at last it starts today :) we have to study all the different conventions etc. of CD covers and then produce three, two for existing bands or bands that did once exist (I chose The Smiths and New Order) and then one for a made up band which should be fun, any ideas on decent band names? I would go for an indie style

Well, I have designed my New Order one and my Smiths one for my GCSE school project, unfortunately they are on a school computer/network. I will get on my USB stick ASAP and upload them here. We noe have to produce one for a made up band, with a name, track list, album name etc. I am going to call my band Esteban (after you know who), no idea about album name and I reckon I will use or edit some Morrissey titles from unreleased songs e.g. Arcana, I'm Not Worth Hitting. There is also this site if I am struggling http://www.list3n.com/list.php?show=all&list=44
