This is one of the first drafts for my Ancillary texts, on the 6 panel digipak. I used two normal photographs before cropping and adding different effects, which left certain parts of the facial features. Adding a black background made the red more vibrant, as well as giving the album cover a more nightmarish effect. After adding a splatter effect and merging it in with the two faces, it has a nice effect which can represent two halves of a heart - relating back to how the artist of the song wants people to respect him, and stop treating him differently, searching for his other half to make him feel whole. From there I added the font for the band name and the song name, which I then used the 'bevel and emboss' effect to make the font look more three dimensional, as well as making it stand out from the basic black background.
What I'd change:
When it comes to improving the album cover, I would soften down the edges of the people, and change the opacity of the splatter to make it more obviously. These changes will most likely be made when it comes to more drafts of the album cover concepts.
