The original one here I added text and chose to use this font as it was the most effective I found on Photoshop, looks like a typewriter/oldish type font and it's also bold and looks good in capital lettering as well as being easy to understand and read. After putting all the required text, links and a bar code on the cover I then used this as a basis to change make a few different colour variations to see which one was the most pleasing and effective. I really like the black and white version as the image is faded and the text is the darkest factor. I also like the one that appears just after the grey scale cover as it has a real retro/vintage feel to it which I achieved by editing the saturation levels.
After altering the composition/placement of the water colour, making it fill up more of the back I edited the colours. Again I really like the black and white but this time I made it more contrasted and not as pale, but this time I incorporated some of the colour red into the text but only the text 'Advance' and 'The Interpretation' as these are the album name and the artists name. This would look good with this as a front cover. However the colours red and black don't really fit in that well with this genre as they are more of rock colours despite this I still think they go together well. I am really pleased with how well the font goes in between the drips of water colours.
These two are just quick variations. The back and white one was similar to the one above but this time I used a lot more red within it so it wasn't just black and white. The other was an accident but I really like the idea of it just not what we wanted to achieve with our back cover.
