Hey all. Finishing my first album soon and need some graphic design services as I am a moron in that department. I also dont want to spend the time learning even more software.
I have the main design ideas figured but need a pro to make it happen. Let me know if interested.
Thanks Doc.

Thanks VORT3X. I will look into it.
By the way, listened to a couple of your tracks lately. Great stuff! The last one I listened to had like a synth machine gun intro if I remember right? Keep it up, awesomeness that is.

Just checked out his site. Looks outstanding. Looks expensive as heck also

This is my friend Max:

She does art, web design, etc. She is a real professional and she will give you a good deal. I've known her since we were kids, and she has my trust.

Hey thanks for the kind words on my music. I appreciate it
Yah I imagine he might be. I've never actually talked to him so he could be quite pricy.
Other options could be to post ads up at local art schools *Colleges, Unis, etc). Sometimes you will find students who can do work for you cheaply.

Why don't you just post some ideas of what you have in mind here and we'll take a gander?
Don't be shy. You say you have some "design ideas" but lack execution, so let's see!
No comment on those art folios -- but at least now I know who designed that hideous Giest logo 'eek.
Don't be mad, it would've made for a great shave/razor brand

I guess it depends on the look that the person wants. I like abstract art, so I thought it was brilliant.
If you want something more traditional for an album, sometimes it just takes hiring a good photographer.

Yep, this is why I said for him to start posting things he likes -- no point throwing folio after folio at the problem if he has something specific in mind.
You're totally right about the photography point.

Hey Oz. I will try to if I get some time. Fairly basic concept but maybe not basic to design. Thanks.

Not as of yet, but he has been talking about finishing one soon.
I'll pull a couple of images from his FB account so you can see if it's up your street anyway.

1. Goto http://cargocollective.com
2. Click "Cargo Gallery" link on the left
3. Brew some tea.
4. Spend a nice evening sipping tea and perusing art whilst making note of any art-direction that tickles your fancy and contact the artist/designer directly.
Cargo, is a very well respected portfolio service that many many professional creatives use -- forget stuff like "DeviantArt" shheesh
If you need more, I can give you more!
But that should be a good place to start and have some fun

So far from what I have seen, it looks like you are having better luck than I did when I asked the same question.
But, what I wound up doing was contacting TONS of artists on Deviant Art (after flipping through their gallery and making sure they had the style and quality I wanted) and then would ask if they wouldn't mind doing the art for me. Now me and a wonderful lady have a great professional relationship and is now my artist. And it only too me about....100 artists that I contacted before finally finding her.

I studied film and design and do my own:

I've kind of got this cartoonish style that I don't really stray from though.

I have some ideas and was going to DIY but would be interested in prices
for the 2nd complete cycle album
Cheers

It all the depends on the artist. If you went my route, on my EP I paid $75 for the art and $150 for someone to get the blank CD cases, CD's, and paper - as well as do additional graphic work and put it all together.
For my full album - well, it's still in the works, so I can't say about the printing, but because I LOVED the work my graphic artist did the first time, I paid her $300 - but she also did the album art and all the CD-inlays + a few variations on the original art for merchandise.
