CD Cover Design Brief

CD cover for album of a funky NYC brass and drums band. The album's vibe is James Brown horn-powered, New Orleans flavored, urban, party music. We wear classy suits and ties like the Blues Brothers.

For the cover I imagine a cartoon night city skyline, retro 60's or 70's, very cartoonish, not realistic. I attached 2 images that capture this vibe I'm looking for. I really like the funky crooked buildings for instance. I'm drawn to a purple-ish sky, black buildings and maybe gold text. I imagine a layout with the band name (maybe all uppercase) above the city skyline, and album title below skyline at bottom (maybe all lowercase), with a retro cartoon-looking font. I'd like large lettering and design that is still catchy as a tiny thumbnail image online, as it will be seen mostly.

By all means be creative and be yourself, but these images convey the feeling I'm looking for and hopefully are a good guide.

Only text should be “Street Beat Brass” (band name) and “Get in the Beat” (album title).

According to my distributor:
"Artwork MUST be 1400 x 1400 pixels minimum; 3000 x 3000 pixels maximum
PNG, GIF, JPG, or JPEG file type
72 - 300dpi (300dpi is the best)
Less than 25mb
RGB color scheme (not CMYK)
Unique to this particular title. We cannot accept artwork that has been used for another title.
Must not include blurry or pixelated images".

Target Market(s)

30-55 year old m/fm. 'Gatekeepers' who work at arts/entertainment or other organizations and decide which talent acts to hire. Artistic directors, producers, etc.

Requirements
Must have
  • 2 text fields: "STREET BEAT BRASS" and "get in the beat". Conveys funky, party atmosphere
Nice to have
  • A retro cartoon feel in the text. Feel free to be creative with what you do with the letters and words. ...Also, the colors I selected below (purple, gold, blue) don't have to be the only colors of course, just suggested as the main colors. Also there should probably be black too, in buildings and/or sky, but the site didn't give me black as an option.
Should not have
  • any other text
