Kanye West's The College Dropout album cover

[Ryan]

So a year ago, I made the graphic I've used as my signature since with the intention of turning it into an album cover for The College Dropout. I finally got around to doing it and here is the result:

This is absolutely fantastic, really impressed.

Front cover is done wonderfully, the text fits perfectly and the whole colour scheme is very nice.

Back is simple and very effective like a music cover should be.

Good work.

I'm trying to make a cover for all his albums. It's tough because if I was an excellent artist, I could simply draw the dropout bear in any position I wanted but I'm not so I need to find the dropout bear already in the position I want. I need to do that for at least his first three albums and then that storyline ends. The beauty of this cover was that someone had already vectored the dropout bear in that position so I took their vector, modified it and then added everything else. This is what I started with, I did all the other work. I started with a much larger version I can't find.

That's awesome. Apart from the arrows on the front cover (was it done by free hand?) the whole thing looks really polished.

Good stuff.

That is really great. Looks like a professional job aside from those crooked arrows that Gimmick mention. Great colour scheme and the whole design layout is fantastic.

The arrows were done by hand. I thought the whole thing had a hand drawn look.

The whole thing looks really crisp and clean aside from the arrows. It is only a minor thing as the cover is brilliant
