LibriVox

Hi,

I made album art and a CD cover (for a standard jewel case) for My Father's Dragon. They are based on illustrations from the public domain edition of the book which was used for the Librivox reading. I modified them a bit, for example the image used in the album art was only available in black and white so I colourised it.

The album art is :



The PDF for the CD cover is at http://sites.google.com/site/librivoxpadraig/Home/myfathersdragon/MyFathersDragon.pdf?attredirects=0.

All the best,

Padraig

Recently I finished recording "You Know Me Al" by Ring Lardner, and while I am not a graphic designer, I am an artist with some illustration experience (many moons ago I worked for DC comics as a color separator), so I figured why not come up with a CD cover for Al.

My idea is to use an old baseball card (a 1933 Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons card) and alter it using some simple drawing tools in Photoshop to make the pitcher look dumber and fatter, like Jack Keefe, the pitcher in You Know Me Al. Kind of half appropriation, half illustration.

My question is, is this okay to use a card from 1933, even if one is going to change it to the point of near-unrecognizability?

Here is the card in question BTW.

A card from 1933 is probably not OK.
But Wikisource has a set of cards that seem to be pd in the US.

(I've only checked one of the cards for pd-nes)
