Looks good, think it will make for a ace cover

Interested to see what else you’ll do with the back

Thanks everyone for the support and much needed advice (and tutoring with photoshop).  I really appreciate it!  Here is a new update.  I have two different versions: one like I originally planned (plain back with just information added) and a second one with still added.  On the stills, I decided to try and place the still over photos of records to blend with the aesthetic I wanted.  I like both versions.

Version 1 (Plain back):

Version 2 (stills added):

Let me know what you think.

[chouette]

Love both, hard to chose.

[ctaulbee]

Both work, on the one with the circles I'd make the synopsis smaller so there is more margin between them and the text, it's pretty close as it is.

Looks great. Love version 2.

I will see what I can do.  Thanks.

You're definitely working in the right direction

[Nickaberdeen]

i've been watching this topic for a while and am enjoying watching your progress. personally i like both too, the only suggestions i have are that the legals section is a bit squeezed in and might work better in white but i look forward to your next update.

Does this work:

I also didn't like how the purple of the original record photo bled through the stills I was using.  With a few tricks I have learned, I managed to find a nice blend so that I still get that record look without interrupting the pictures.

Thanks.  I took your advice on the legal text and made it white.  as for the size, I wanted to keep it down towards the bottom like the legal text on an original vinyl release.  I also didn't want any text to cover the silhouettes of the band on the back.  Many thanks again folks.  I appreciate all the wonderful help.

Looks great buddy

[bankska22]

Very nice!

i was actually thinking you should make it smaller as opposed to going over the image, sorry i was unclear, im not sure exactly how (there are other people who are better with text that would know how), im not sure going smaller on the font is the answer, maybe a condensed font or one paragraph as opposed to two would give it more room. Looking sharp though.

Cool.  I hadn't quite thought of combining the info with the credits list.  I will try that and see how it looks.

Looks great.

Here is the latest update on both versions of the cover:

Plain Album:

Pics on back:

Thanks for the help with the cast list and legal text ct.  It looks so much better!  Unless anyone has any other suggestions, I will probably post both soon.  I have posted my CBS Fox version as well, just for a bit of variety.

Thanks.  It helps to have patient teachers.

Posted both covers.  Thanks again everyone!  I hope to put all I have learned to good use on future covers (including some of the retro covers).
