dUSt Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hey y'all. I'm going to be working on the AFTERMASS hip-hop compilation #2 cover art soon. I need ideas. Here's the deal. If YOU are the one who comes up with the cover art concept, here's what you get: - your name inside the cover - 6-pack of Aftermass CDs - phatmass t-shirt and hat of your choice Some things to keep in mind... I want the cover art to be a dope representation of both the tradition found in the Church and modern hip-hop style. It's a tough combo, I know--but I'm confident somebody will be able to come up with something. I already have some ideas, but just thought it wouldn't hurt to come up with some more... You don't have to create the art, just come up with the concept. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Oh, and if you are indeed an artist (graphic artist, painter, drawer, etc) let me know if you'd be willing to submit some stuff. Peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immaculata Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 hmm I'm thinking it should be something simple and bold, to go with the theme of the first Massamatics CD.. Nothing's coming to me yet, though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin_the_MASS Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 The man with the mic and rosary in his hand, show Christ helping him walk the narrow path, show Christ illuminated. Man my brain is spitting sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livin_the_MASS Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hey it is centered on the Sacrament right? Put St. Peter by Rome on the other side of the Cross(at the end of the narrow path) with 7 keys in his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it doesn't make the cover, there's the back, and also plenty of panels to fill on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Here's some thoughts I had... maybe it'll help y'all think of some things: 1. an old fresco-looking painting, with classic art elements--except it'll be an image of a man behind some DJ turntables--all in the classic art style. -or- 2. an image of a person kneeling in front of a tabernacle, or a monstrance with the Eucharist--done in a modern, urban grafitti art style Both ideas combine the Church with some type of hip-hop element. Brainstorm on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin_the_MASS Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well all the posts I posted is one picture in my mind, so it goes: Narrow Path In distance Church of Rome Road is surrounded with desert like theme Closer to Rome the narrow path gets show life (grass, Trees ect.) On the Right close to the end of the road where there is life show a crucifix On the left Saint Peter holding seven keys for the Seven Sacraments I was trying to add the hip hop with the man walking the path with a mic in one hand, and a rosary in the other. With Christ helping him along the path (Christ is illuminated.) Maybe at the bottom put Phatmass-- Preaching Holy Apostolic Truth AfterMass on the narrow path. Make the man look like a rapper, that's where the "mic" idea came in? God Bless Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoticus Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 hmm, maybe you should play with shadows on this cover, with the black/white concentration. Maybe have a man, or his shadow praying with a rosary in his hand, and his cap backwards in Hip-Hop Fashion, as the centerpiece for it. A Hip-Hop style man praying the rosary. And next to where he is kneeling, have a chord for the mic tracing up towards his body, where the mic is laying by his feet. Do it all in like black, or keep it simple I believe. So like, have a man, in a cap backwards, praying, and have the rosary beads show through his hands, looking up perhaps. And then have a mike by his knee, with the cord trailing on the floor. Just one of the ideas I could possibly have. I do a little Adobe, and can perhaps help you out if you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
