Inspiration
At first I had this trendy phrase: "Over My Dead Like", which I often say these days among friends and family ("Like" as in facebook likes of course), if they go too far. A picture from a holiday in Sicily, Italy fitted right in, with a rebel guy (like me) throwing stones into the sea:
 |
| Throwing stones, dare me! |
Just to keep an open mind, I tried a different approach. I took some items outside in my backgarden
floorboard, like a mirror, a classical Perez guitar (my latest), and a vinyl album with a picture of
...me.
I photographed away. All very brownish, autumn, rootsy, so I took that further, when I put a few of these into some online photo editors and let my creativity have its way:

| Mirror effect 2 |
 |
| Mirror effect 1 |
 |
| Mirror effect 3 |
 |
| Floorboard backgarden |
 |
| Frontcover: the first brownish ones |

About the title:
"Doesn't Ring A Bell"
There's a lot I want to be, but not "famous" in the "media personality" way. A status.
I'm a musician, not an artist, I always say.
So JoosTVD doesn't ring a bell and if he does, you won't hear it.....coming!
 |
| Design with effect |
 |
| Best effect in my opinion. |
Just happened to hit upon the title while writing a lyric. Maybe I read it somewhere or heard someone's remarks. I always love the double sided meaning of these sentences, in this case "JoosTVD doesn't ring a bell" .....really? Sometimes I knock. Who is this guy? Is he someone famous?
The end results:
 |
| Front cover with nickname |
 |
| Front cover for online distribution |
 |
| Back cover |
 |
| Inside cover |
Next: let me hear a new song, wait... you say you've got a video?
