Magpies like shiny things.



Okay, So this is my Comp for the classical album cover, which took a while to get approved. At first, I was too sure about some elements (Background, coloring, some minor details) so, didn't get an okay from the author of the blog we all love and worship. So, Went back and fixed up some stuff, figured out a dramatic background (He's flying off into/away from the sunset with his stolen loot) And got an okay ^__^

I think without the bandanna, The magpie looks a lot better.... But damn did I like that thing. If I had a pet bird, it would definitively have a bandanna.... and possibly cape.

Shut up and listen. You might learn something....


So, this isn't EXACTLY the version I handed in, but I dont know where its gotten too.... So you get this. The only differences are some minor tweaks to the Text and the MAC logo was actually correct. 


I completed this project on a very tight schedule, that being I started and completed it on the day before hand in.


BOSS.


Anyhow, I struggled a lot dealing with only 2 spot colors, especially in Photoshop with its weird, weird channels. Even though the face was originally planned to be in color, I like the way it turned out, Rusty did as well. 


But the Text.... I always make the damned text too big!! a;fha;hdfs;kfhj;asfh >:( 
Anyway, I'm happy with how this turned out. Not my best hand in, but definitively not my worst.
