Hi all! I've lurked here for awhile and enjoyed checking out everyone's creations. I finally decided to register so I could do some sharing of my own. I'm a graphic designer, and each week through the AI season I've been blowing off boring paid work in favor of a more, um, inspirational subject. So I now have a complete set of replacements for the generic Idol album art that comes with the DC songs you buy from iTunes. If you're interested, feel free to check them out and download them. (See sig for a few samples and link).

Also - apologies if you've seen this post before! I mistakenly put it in the Pictures thread originally, but I'm learning. smile.gif

Wow, these are amazing! I especially love The World I Know #1 and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For #1 - they are so simple yet so classically beautiful!
Do you mind if I use them for my iTunes artwork? I don't want to enfringe upon any artist's rights...

Oops, sorry. I just realized that I don't have the actual songs downloaded (couldn't get them in time before iTunes ripped them out) so I only have the videos.
Thanks anyway lol and sorry for having a blonde moment. biggrin.gif

I don't mind you using them at all - that's why I posted them! I just did them for my own enjoyment, but it's gratifying when other people like them enough to use them too.

Actually, you can use them for the videos too - those usually come with a small screencap photo and you would just be replacing that instead of the "Single" artwork that comes with the songs. (Incidentally, you can always change back if you decide to.)

First you'll need to right-click on each new cover you want to use and save it somewhere on your hard drive. Then, open up iTunes and click on the song whose artwork you want to change; under the File menu select "Get Info," then click on the Artwork tab. Click "Add" and locate the new artwork on your hard drive. It will be added to the selections. If necessary, drag the new one all the way to the left in the window, and hit OK.

There are a couple of other ways to go about it, but this one is the most reliable.

And thanks, y'all, for the kind comments!
