and to critique the covers:

Biggie Cover: uneeded photoshop like dude being in the background

Ransom Cover: clutter and uneeded lucisat, and perspective is off

Flyover Cover: Right space, Wrong Landscape, and Badly cut psd

Archie cover: prespective problems, uneeded lucisart

Summer Cover: a literal collage of psds, kanye,Drake,Keri dont really fit in the pic

And I wasn’t throwing my degree in your face. I’m simply saying that I know the game like the back of my hand. And I agree with Shake…your work is sub-par. Your best work was prob that Myspace thing you did. What you need to do is go where a lot of graphic artists post, gain knowledge from them, and go from there. Some of your work has too much going on. While it looks hot to some, it takes away from the PURPOSE of the artwork.

im 19… started Photoshopin’ in summer of ’07 after i graduated. i have taken ONE class. Digital Imaging at AI of Vegas. that was 6 months ago. im no grown ass man. im no pro. hell im not even in the graphic design program. but i see enough blow ur mind work everyday to tell you that ur stuff does NOT show 3 years of experience- self-taught or otherwise.

if ur serious about this whole “graphic design” thing, then stop knockin work that is better than yours and step YOUR game up. just cuz mixtape art work nowadays isnt ur thing doesnt mean its whack. from a technical stand point:
these covers >>>>>>>>> ur overlays and filters

ps. i said find a new hobby becuz YOU said u’ve been doing this 3 years and it looks like u just discovered the preset filters and downloaded some brushes from deviantart. when u start critiquing the work of others, you only bring attention to your own level of work. yours is not that high. this is what happens when u, as a 16 yo boy, criticize the work of men.
