Battenburg, Fairy Cakes and Iced Doughnuts are the sugary fatty food of the gods..

but iced gems and that cornet monstrosity are confectionary evil. Evil or Very Mad

it'd be like eating riveta with nutella spread on it... the horror.

One could get diabetes merely looking upon that... Wink

If that's the album cover then it pants.

It looks amateur, which is a shame.

How are artists ike guthrie supposed to look professional if their album artwork looks like it was designed by someone in powerpoint.

Once again, let me design it and he will look like a credible artist. Guthrie needs marketing in a professional way, or he will not be taken seriously.

I agree that it needs some work.

The colours are a little off (especially the marshmallows), and the font for his name is really plain.

I like the concept, but it could be done better. What about something hand-drawn?
Or a shopfront selling the Erotic Cakes- this just came to me because of what I believe to be the origin of the name (The Simpsons halloween special where Homer goes into the 3rd dimension and ends up in the real world. "mmmm Erotic cakes".

Finally its almost ready, I will definately buy it as soon as I can. I just hope the choice of songs makes up for that cover art. It has Delboy written all over it.

well, the cake writing is cool. nothing wrong with that. but the extended typeface and guthrie's name in the middle ruins what's good with the thing. two very distinct element. one good, one "powerpointy".

not gonna say more about this, though. (but i DO run a small print/publishing house, and we DO put out books and stuff with award winning graphic design ...)

I don't have a problem with the cover art. It's just what it is. In a way, it's a reflection of who Guthrie is - he doesn't give a shit about image! It'll all be about the music within. My vote for the worst guitar album cover is Steve Vai's 'Ultra Zone'.
