I like the 1st one you made way better. Could you work on that one instead? The band name is going to be called "Sound Check," so try using ideas that would reflect that name. For example, instead of the helicopter in the top left, you could add something else. Also, maybe instead of the plain orange background, you could use the starburst effect, like in bEnJiX's banner: http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad74/bEnJiX-10/cdcover2.png I still love the colour scheme and the city silhouette at the botom though, so do NOT get rid of those.

Wow, I love it, Redders. It's simple, but very professional, and looks like a genuine CD cover. Just if you could find out the right dimensions, that'd be great, as I really want the correct size. Let's see if anybody can top that.
Thanks. I think it is the correct size at the moment, after a quick google search it came at around 4.74 x 4.74 inches was the right size. I then added a .2 inch bleed for printing purposes. If there is anything else I can add/remove/adjust, let me know! Also on CD-Covers.cc, they seem to be around this size (E.g. http://s1.cdcovers.cc/1089630eee6ac...1/Howl_-_Full_Of_Hell-[cdcovers_cc]-front.jpg) Thanks again.
I just realized that the band is Canadian; would you by any chance be able to use a city pic of Toronto as opposed to New York?
