Can't hate then, this is why I don't think I could get into the whole cover design shit, not trying to stroke my own ego but I feel I got the skill, its just alot of people won't give you the freedom to work your own magic.
they are paying for a service so you have to be able to cater to them while being able to put yourself in to it...its a give and take...but at the end of the day the client is PAYING you for something so they kinda over rule what you think is best...i usually have a lil more leverage when i tell a client/artist what might not work and what i think looks good cuz i have worked in the retail and music industry for bout 10 years now...
