i think we should just do it anyway tbh

Is this the one?

I stand corrected. That will teach me to listen on my shitty speakers and not headphones

She's in the second half?

The other thing is, that unlike in the old bootleg days, every one of us has access to the actual music, so distributing it on a physical CD (which makes it subject to piracy laws) seems an unnecessary risk. Maybe include a blank CD, printed with the label, which the person who receives it can do whatever they feel is appropriate with?

I genuinely am, too.

Some of these came out pretty spot on.

No kidding. Like I told someone in PM, I don't know how crap like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANA-DEL-REY-YOUNG-AND-BEAUTIFUL-CD-SINGLE-SLIM-JEWEL-CASE-PROMO-RARE-GATSBY-/161516767599?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item259b26496f is on eBay. He is clearly trying to profit and I'm really not but I bet I'd get caught first.
 
Maybe just blank cases would be safe. And @@SitarHero if you want that hibiscus label you need to find someone who will make it properly. 
@@longtimeman I really was wondering why you posted that because it seemed weird but it now makes sense. 

Of course, they are just rough WIP. And yeah, I can edit the polls after we have everything in (so Jan 1st) and get a real count of who wants what. I'm sorry if my post earlier made it seem like I was deciding for everyone. 
 
All assuming the next bit doesn't shut this down..
 
 
 
 
Hm, this makes me pretty nervous about all this. I haven't had anything printed at all yet thankfully but this is something I'm going to have to deal with. I'd prefer not to get into trouble. If you guys think that just the cases wouldn't be an issue, that is an option. I want one badly, and to share it with you guys, but I don't want legal trouble either as that would royally fuck up my life. 
 
 
Yeah we might need to make other arrangements for this. I don't really know what to do at this point.

So here is roughly what I am envisioning the thing to look like based on what I have so far:
 
Cover - duh, moving on..
 
Back Cover:
 
 
 
CD Label:
 
 
 
Digipak middle insert/jewel case inside back part (part visible behind the CD):
 
 
 
This is, of course, subject to change depending on what else people turn in by the end of the year, but for now its the direction I am leaning toward. I just really like the idea of the cover/back being dark, but the inside being more bright and happy to go with the lighter parts of the album. I think it covers all the main aesthetic points of the era as well. Feel free to post thoughts!
 
Pages are still TBA, I am working on some basic ones to use if I don't get anything from anyone else. 
 
EDIT: Also guys, I can't use those pages y'all keep posting (or any random ones off the internet) even if I wanted to. I need/want permission from the original creators to use anything from online. And I like some of the things we are coming up with more anyways.  Based on the "official" back cover I think I like ours more than what Lana would have made it look like too.
 
..And I guess its time to suck it up and show you guys one of my sample pages so I can get feedback if it comes to that. Absolutely not what we have to use but its there as a last resort. 
 
 

It's a direct reference to one of the most famous quotes from 20th Century film, so I would say it's not a coincidence.

I respectfully disagree - I love how it makes a connection forwards to the UV booklet and the whole aesthetic of the various eras being strongly connected to the place where Lizzy/Lana was/is living/hanging out.

@ thanks for the cover! Will update the OP!
 
 
I kind of like this picture ilovetati posted earlier as it could be used for the center of the digi but its just me: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1737243/thumbs/o-CONEY-ISLAND-facebook.jpg The best part too is that it's already a large enough image. 
 
If we had the cover, used the back cover with the palm tree that was posted a few pages earlier, and ^ for the middle, I think it would be a nice balance of the darker/lighter pictures. But its just a suggestion. 
 
I'm starting my own pages too as a backup. They are kind of just lame/cliche aka era pictures with the lyrics in the TypicalWriter font (same one as BTD/UV) but could be a safe backup if nothing else. 
 
 
Also, anyone making pages be warned, I'm simply not going to consider anything made with this image:

I'm trying to keep my own personal biases out of this as much as possible but I hate this picture.
