Hi all

I like John's suggestion regarding the cover. And I vote for the cover
with the background in black and with the stickers over the cassete ;)
Just one note: should we use the word "songs" or "tracks"? Because some
of the selected tracks are not songs (if that distinction make sense in
English; in Portuguese it does...).

+1 for tracks

Regarding side B, don't be crazy, don't do it now! As you know, it took
me a day just to get all the info regarding all the tracks and that's
nothing: the most difficult part is to compile all that different stuff
in a way that sounds pleasant!

alright, I'll postpone that for now.

I've been working on putting the tracks in the "right" order and I've
been asking myself why don't we have a professional DJ (?!?), because we
have 20 tracks of different genres, which is quite complicated to
compile. I'm satisfied with half of it but the other half I'm still not
sure! I'd like to send you the files, so that you could download, hear
them all together and give your opinion before uploading them to the
public. Unless of course you trust my *alternative* taste that much... ;-)

+1 for trusting Teresa's taste :)

If you have them downloaded already, can you share them via dropbox or similar? I'd then take care of the Soundcloud upload and would also ask the netzpolitik crowd to take a shot at remixing the tracks (the DJ I had in mind for that is overworked and didn't get back to me until he showed up at CC10 Berlin).

Since I'm leaving to Rio tomorrow, I won't be able to help much more
with this. If I had time, I would write a paragraph per track. It should
not be difficult, since normally the artists/labels write something
about the artists and the albums in the websites we have on the list...

first the cover, then maybe a booklet ...

Best
John

Hi Christian,


Yes, I tried it the other way around on the CC Europe sticker -
but it
didn't really work out so well. The main problem is the width of
"europe" and the height of the cc-circle. For that to fit in the
other
way around we'd need to make them much smaller, and the looks
even worse
(and somewhat unnatural). Otherwise we'd have to put the
cc-circle in
the bottom and leave "europe" in the middle, but then it reads
Compiled
by Europe CC, which I think sounds a little stupid :) Wouldn't
you agree?


it's those little things that get you tangled up all the time, tell
me about it *sigh*
;-)


Alek, however, suggested moving the stickers to the lower left
corner -
and/or consolidate into them into just one sticker. I've tried a
couple of solutions for that:

<http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final5_grey_web.jpg>
http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt___final6_grey_web.jpg
<http://autofunk.dk/cc/mt_final6_grey_web.jpg>


"from CC Europe" or "by CC Europe" gives kind of a wrong impression
on our role here, so I'd suggest to stick (!) with "compiled by".


Not too sure about the single-sticker version, but the other one
works
out rather well?


if you have time (you probably don't) you could try one more thing:

A Sticker in the form of a rounded rectangle reading

compiled by
CC Europe

... with our semi-official logo in the middle. I attach it here in
PNG true grey. If you need any other formats, let me know.

Best
John

Hi Christian,

very nice cover that is :) I'd suggest to switch the "CC
Europe" and
"compiled by", maybe with the cc circle going in the middle?

Also, we could include the URL
http://europe.creativecommons.____org/Mixtape

<http://europe.__creativecommons.org/Mixtape
<http://europe.creativecommons.org/Mixtape>> in there, but maybe
that's too much. You are the music label guru here :)

John

Hi everybody,

Here are a couple of new cover mockups, now with
"Europe" added as
suggested earlier in the thread. Apologies for the
delay, but it
proved
quite a challenge to fit the new texts onto the cover
without it
seeming
rather cluttered. I have therefore opted for a
"sticker"-option,
hope
you like it.

If we choose to go with a colored background and add the
stickers (or
just one of them) we should probably match the sticker
color(s)
to fit
aesthetically with that background color.

Let me know your thoughts about all of it, so we can
get things
wrapped up.

Regards from thickly snow-covered Denmark,

-Christian

+1

but please w/o "... does not sound like it's CC
licensed"
b/c it
suggests that all re-usable music is lame, which
is not so!
