Ok, so I've made a mix cd for a girl I like but can't think of any ideas for artwork because I'm shit and hopeless like that. Anyone got any suggestions, ideas or even just a helpful pointer for artwork?

real answer

dont make artwork, it'll make you look like you put to much effort into it

also, remember that a mixtape has never worked for anyone when trying to get into a girl's pants

It's worked before.

then why are you asking for pointers?

unless the time it worked the girl was a massive slag

in which case:

Because I did no artwork last time,

but I feel like it needs artwork, to make it more personal.

Pretty doodles you made yourself

are good if your going for the I'm pathetic but will be devoted angle (God I love that angle).

Just write

PLEASE SEXUZ ME! on the front.

Then you're golden.

'Hope you have a CD player'

in crayon. Inside, write 'I know you have 2,678 tracks on your ipod, but here are ten.'

this is not Nam, this is indieboy makes girl mixtape to try and get in her pants

there are rules, ten is too neat a number, you want to come across wild and reckless and yet comforting, someone she can confide in, 12 is this number.
