My entry for the September Challenge is at the link. ...and a thumbnail for the challenge page. You didn't limit it to current music. ;^) My upstairs neighbor caught me on my knees in the front yard frantically brushing cat-hair off the Christmas tree skirt. She looked at the props around the circle and assumed that I was up to some wiccan-or-other ritual (sheesh, as though I'd dance naked in my front yard)... the truth would have been weirder, though. If we weren't artists, we'd be hauled away for examination. Carolly

Now that is creative. Welcome to this challenge

elegant cover & typography Carolly!! :]

Lovely work on this one, the photo and typography go so well together!

i think it's really neat! When i see it, for some reason i'm reminded of The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos!!! Fabulous entry!

Thanks! I've listened to Gregorian chant and other early music for a long, long time...even longer than my exposure to electronic music (what later got known as New Age). Several of my friends play harps and keyboards and other complicated stuff... I can barely manage single-note-at-a-time instruments. ;^) If this was work for a client, they'd get a choice of 3-6 fonts and at least 3 layouts before final work (like tweaking those letters) got niggled at. I'm a bit indecisive (pink letters or gold?), so letting them choose (as long as none of the choices are bad!!!) not only increases their involvement, but helps ensure final approval. I had to put a muting layer between the photo and the text so that the letters would stand out a bit more. That was really bright sunlight on a really bright scarf... and the tree skirt wasn't subtle, either. For a photographic challenge, I should probably have let the image dominate... but as a package, the titling needed that extra bounce. :sigh: Anyway, this was a really fun challenge... opened the creative juices. There are so many ways that those letters could have been taken. :) Carolly

really creative and artistic .. well done :)..:)
