i'm not crazy about the way both of the images of that screaming dude are cropped off below his chest. it could use a bit more contrast, too.

what kind of music does this band make? the colors aren't really vibrant; the colors look out of place compared to the image of a man screaming. if it's mellow music, i guess the pale green is good. but i sorta find myself expecting to see the color blue, because of the band's name.

just my 2 cents.

actually, it was supposed 2 be blue, i dont know why it shows up green. and these images are from photodisc.com so i cant extend his chest. i could take my own, but ive never done it b 4 and im kinda on a schedule, quik and blu, what you guys think i could add??

the band , or what ive heard them play, sounds quite a bit like everclear. mellow rock??? i dunno. something like that.

You need expample of texture?  All good graphic design has a texture.  www.rorycampbell.com for example has AMAZING texture.  I think you need texture since you have Line, Text and Shape (the guy is really just a shape in your design.  If you gave it a very rough texture, it might make it look meaner or angrier. Also, it could be a way to get rid of the bottom of the guy being chopped off.

Just remember to design at a higher DPI when doing print work. 72dpi isnt' gonna cut it for print. Go at least 300dpi.
