Damn, I missed a lot here! I hope I'm not too late for some input :P The front looks really good now, though I'm not too keen on the "hand-written" font for the names (the original TT looks great though). How about something like the font on post #14 for the names, and in white?

Also, either of the backs from post #22 look great just as they are there (though I'd change the hand-written font, again

), the one on your last post seems too crammed up with lines and rectangles, feels too heavy IMO

Looks nice JR!
How about trying the orange dividing lines on the back more in the style of hand-drawn ones?
Keep them straight, but maybe just use a more textured brush and fade little bits of the line here and there as if it's worn away a bit.

Also, how about trying out another glass shatter in that dark space beneath the barcode? Just a small one would do the trick.

fook the back layout. :cussing:

I've started over, trying to keep with the front a little more.

That looks totally awesome! If anything, re-arrange the quote so it reads a little easier.

Excellent update! Looking even better, but agree about the quote.

Sorry bud I'm slow to add my comments.
I love the whole thing in post 32, you made the right choice with the back pic IMHO
I do love how you put KALIFORNIA in the credits in color, what a great touch! (I'm gonna use that in the future too) it's a small thing but a wonderful one
But now I'm really excited about your new back design, what a great concept and artistic approach!
This might be crazy but, what about trying to put on the back a car mirror and put your pic inside that, reversed so it's as you would be seeing it if you were the driver of the car? The mirror could even be cracked.
Again, impressed with your work, as always mate, looking forward to where you "drive"

this now
Cheers

Thanks guys :cheers:

I'll tinker some more with the text and the glass shards.

Also remembered this quote:

Take a look at this tralier
