Free Mix Cover Art to anyone that asks!
Posted on: 09.01.2011 by Estefana Musfeldt
I need the practice on photoshop so i'm offering free mix cover art to anyone that wants it all you need to do is:

1. Give me a theme that revolves
around either the mix or your name or
just a theme of your choice,
that i can use to build a cover.
2. A basic color scheme or choice of color's.
3. Any text you want added to the cover.

I hope i can help some people, and you in turn can help me further my photoshop skills

here is a couple i have done for my own mixes and a couple of others
















My drawing style is firmly rooted in graffiti. drew this pretty much from scratch

a few people have suggested i start taking payments for my work but i don't like that idea if you do want to donate anything for any design work i do you can send it on pay pal to [email protected]

Thank's for everyone's support on this it is really helping me. if you guys donate you will help me get out of my hideous life of making sandwiches and getting shouted at by Midgets and Canadian's.

yeah i put more weight on the downloads stats. plays dont mean much really. someone could listen for 3 seconds and believe its shit, still counts as a play. our most pop one has just under 1400 plays and 380 dls.

can u hit this up, like a simple shiny black background with ' 8Bit ' written in aqua blue (like in any stutter edit screen shot and that 'bt' font) and behind it a dark grey circle with 24 equidistant lines out of the centre.

Hey! I go by the name of Thanotopsis, I play trip-hop and electro mainly.

I just need a nice looking logo with the name, using blue and black (and possibly white?). I'd just like it to look nice clean and sophisticated, I've always wanted to make it look something like a black metal logo though:

(It can be as fancy as you want to bother yourself with making it, anything will do )

anychance you might be able to do something like the nesquik rabbit with headphones or something with nesquigs in a different font? it doesnt really matter to me what font it is. i just want something for a facebook fan page.

I would really like a DJ LOGO if at all possible. I have my 1st gig this sat and am sooooo excited ... Any tips by the way? =)
So my name is DJ Kay Cali and as i mentioned before ima female Dj so i would b great if it looked a Extra LEgit i gotta show these guys,ladies can do it too .
So u can incorporate what ever style you feel cause i want to end up putting it on my laptop . if at all some how u could incorporate some california icons in it that would b great as well . For example DJ Kay CAl but instead of an i ,you could use a palm tree . just a thought . but thanks again for doing this! its a blessing

Hey herb, I kinda have the mixtape artwork (my avatar and variations of that logo) but I suck at choosing fonts for my dj name. Care to help? If you have time of course.

I use either Paddy or Pdy, preferably not making it too irish since no one around here gets the reference. I went to an irish school and my last name is Padilla > Padi > Paddy

check my remixes of Underworld and Home Video for inspiration, that is what I'm doing now mainly.

And a transpairent background would help alot, as I'm adding these to posters.. So a black box isn't gona look all that great.. I could edit it from the jpg as is, but I'd asume it would be alot easyer to work from the psd.

And that zone phactor looks way better.. Anyway you could toss some kinda circle or something around it? Just something to give it a edge I can cut out, (Or make translucent around it) so I can actually add it to posters as an logo or icon (Cuz thats what I need both of these for)

Thanks again man, awesome work.

Click 48k <-- for both the sounds I make and the logo design i've got at the moment.

If you click on the logo in soundcloud you can download it from the window it pops up in and use that as a basis.

Or just play around with some fresh ideas and see what you come up with!
Have a listen to the tracks and see if any ideas spark, innit

Thanks man!!
i am knocking things out slowly but surely i will have a go with it

But as I said. This logo is really good too, just try to inject it with a bit of the feeling in the pictures I posted. Make it a little bit more "evil" and "nasty"...
