Ooh! The fake WEA target CD thread!

Kym · 08-20-2003, 06:42 PM

I had the idea of making my own target CD labels, especially of those titles that should've been targets, but alas, weren't.

How about this one for starters?

Joe Koz · 08-20-2003, 06:45 PM

Looks good to me Kym, what program do you use?

Thanks, Joe! I'm using Adobe Illustrator for the Mac. The logos will be done in Adobe Photoshop.

Warning: this is only the beginning. There will be many more forthcoming! I hope to get at least one fake target up a day!

Joe Koz · 08-20-2003, 06:50 PM

Go for it!

KeithH · 08-20-2003, 07:00 PM

Kym, very cool! Thanks for doing this! Some of my votes for future fake targets:

* All other Led Zeppelin titles besides Zoso and Houses of the Holy

* The Doors Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, and The Soft Parade

That's a good start!

KeithH · 08-20-2003, 07:02 PM

Kym, how about some Coltrane? I'm thinking My Favorite Things and Giant Steps!

Kym · 08-20-2003, 07:06 PM

I'll definitely consider those, Keith. But these things take time!

KeithH · 08-20-2003, 07:16 PM

Kym, thanks! Time? We're talking about targets here!

Doug Hess Jr. · 08-20-2003, 07:23 PM

Very nice Kym...we had a great time awhile back doing fake DCC discs...keep going!!!

chrischross · 08-20-2003, 07:52 PM

Kym,

Excellent idea -- at first I thought this thread was going to be about that Prince "half-target".

Just for grins, how about a Cars - Heartbeat City (J)?? I always find that one at my local used shop and it gets me every time! Smooth sided jewel case, I'm just a sucker. The color would probably be a red target on a clear background.

I'll have to steal my wife's machine and get crackin' on Photoshop.

**SamS** · 08-20-2003, 07:53 PM

Nice job Kym.

Hmmm, how 'bout some AC/DC titles?

BradOlson · 08-20-2003, 07:57 PM

When you have time, do some Gordon Lightfoot fake WEA targets

Joe Fornarotto · 08-20-2003, 08:02 PM

Kym...very nice....can't wait to see more........

KeithH · 08-20-2003, 08:06 PM

Kym, you realize that you opened up a can of worms, don't you? The requests will pile up now.

How about a target of Dire Straits Brothers in Arms?

Oooh, how about Metallica targets? Definitely Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning! Those would be way cool! I am guessing that Elektra released these on CD after pressing plants opened in the US, but targets would be cool to look at anyway.

KeithH · 08-20-2003, 08:07 PM

Kym, another request. Perhaps some Frank Sinatra Reprise targets?

Claviusb · 08-20-2003, 08:11 PM

Great job, Kym!

Kym · 08-20-2003, 08:30 PM

Wow, thanks for all the feedback and requests!

Here's one more I managed to squeeze in for today. I'm tired!

Ooh Ooh -- I love it!! Let's pretend that MegaForce was a subsidiary label of WEA for the Kill 'Em All release!! This will require an entirely new color combo!! Maybe a black background with a red target?!

Here's the original:

Kym · 08-20-2003, 09:11 PM

Or maybe this... The brown type is a bit hard to read. Nah...

nashreed · 08-20-2003, 10:19 PM

Awesome Kym!! Now that is great use of computer software!!!! I want that Robert Plant target!!! (I prefer the 1st one actually...)

Here's a couple of ideas from me...("Shoulda Been Targets...")
U2 "The Unforfgettable Fire"
Sheila E. "In Romance 1600" (Can't WAIT to see a Paisley Park target color combo)
Jim Croce "Photographs & Memories" (another new combo for 21/Saja Records !!!

)

KEEP 'EM COMIN'!! You da man Kym!

James
