Somewhat OT here, but I think that there is something to the visual element of music that gets overlooked by many of us. So, I was just wondering if any of you guys are into creating graphics for your music. I'm pretty much a PS hack, but I really like making banners for each of my tracks after I finish them. It gives me another opportunity to get creative from a different perspective but, since I don't have a background in graphics and can barely draw stick figures, it's a pretty big challenge for me and I just do it the same way many people learn to make music - look at tutorials for ideas and start playing around with filters, modes, gradients, etc.
I know Kysora and a few others here are pretty good at graphics, so I thought it might be cool to have a thread to talk about the visual side of music releases. I think it would be cool to keep this thread running as an opportunity to talk about different graphics ideas, get feedback, etc.
Anyway, here's a banner I made for our latest song.

I use Photoshop CS2. I also have Flash 8, but don't use it very often and I don't know it all that well. |

I was going to pair this NASA image with one of my tracks, but decided not to:
I prefer using photos to making my own graphics. |

I found them on the web - just Google "free fonts" and you'll be overwhelmed. |

Although that may change now that I am learning to use Processing:

That looks interesting. How's the learning curve?
Nice one, Stu! :D |

I really admire people who are good @ DTP, I often have a vision in my mind, but i am far from able to capitalize on it.
Though this banner is what i made myself and i am quite proud of (my own close-up picture, with a ty SAMSUNG camera)
