Simple Minds
This page contains custom album artwork that I created for some concert bootleg recordings from Simple Minds. Obviously, as concert bootleg recordings are not commercially available, there is no official album artwork. This custom album artwork was created solely for my own personal use, and you are free to use it for your own personal use. All of the images were created in Adobe Photoshop Elements using layers, and are 1500 x 1500 in resolution. Clicking on any image will open a gallery viewer, which includes the ability to browse through the images, as well as a download button for each image. Simply hovering over any image will display a download button in the lower right of the image. If you use any of the artwork in your music library, I would be interested in knowing, as well as hearing any comments and feedback on the design. The photo above was sourced here and was edited via Adobe Photoshop Elements.
