Description
Even though I've had this album for a while, I've never been enthusiastic about the jacket design. Granted, I was a little slow to redesign it, however my procrastination wound up paying off... While researching the original graphic campaign, I came across three or four of Saul Bass' hitherto unreleased rejected poster design concepts photographed at a Stanley Kubrick exhibit at LACMA this year (2012)! The images weren't much by themselves; however, like puzzle pieces, I saw how they could be combined to form a dramatic new image possessing both literal and symbolic attributes. A morning of image editing later, I finally had a liner jacket at which I was pleased to gaze. What better way to graphically represent a rejected score than with rejected promotional artwork? Mission accomplished!Related content

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment!
At the risk of sounding whiny, I don't get a lot of encouragement or thanks from folks that patronize and/or download my designs; consequently, I work in a vacuum largely for my own enjoyment and whatever satisfaction I can glean from a glance at the stoic statistics indicating people are in fact looking and collecting. When someone like yourself comes along and cares enough to leave a comment in the form of either a compliment or constructive criticism... the opportunity to interact with a real person makes my day.
So, as I said, thanks for looking and leaving me a souvenir of your visit; I really appreciate it!

I know what you're talking about. My blog is kinda new, but I jump in joy, if there's a new comment, even if it's only spambot commenting I normally also don't comment that often myself, but your style just speaks to me so much, the colors and font types. I couldn't help, but show my enthusiasm. It's really a pleasure to look at your covers, to see how much attention and effort has been put into them. By the way, I've downloaded an awesome Evil Dead cover a few weeks ago on Google, only to find out today, that it was made by you. Another great concept, and damn well executed as well. I'll add that to my site too, if you don't mind.

Howdy Anakin:
Thanks for the heads up on Evil Dead's re-blogging! I repeated your search for myself and found at least three other sites displaying it -- uncredited of course... however, since I put the file up for free; that's bound to happen. Regardless, I'm pleased to see the fan community embracing and redistributing it!
At any rate, help yourself to the Evil Dead file; I'm glad you like it!
