The Get Right Band
A funk/rock/reggae trio from Asheville, NC looking to target listeners everywhere.
We're looking for an album cover design for our new record titled Who's In Charge? We have a reference image of something that we came up with... we like the general direction of this but are interested to see what professional artists would do with the idea. We are also open to seeing designs that reflect the title and our style of music but have nothing to do with the design we're providing. If you're working off of the design we gave, we're open to different styles of crowns, not necessarily solid color or 2D. That said, we are ideally hoping for something that can be applied to other uses, such as but on a kick drum head, t-shirts, stickers, etc, so something simple and powerful has some benefits.
The style of the album is rock, funk, psychedelia, and reggae. We like for images to have some psychedelic feel, but more in an artsy way than a cheesy, 1960's, or overly stoner way.
We're open to different colors, but we do like black, reds, white, and teal.
The font we generally use is called Dirty Ego. We like it a lot and would be happy to keep using it but we're definitely open to other fonts.
