creating my new CD cover

I started the CD cover with the new image that I took in central London, I then added the original artist name and font with the original album title underneath. The silhouette is effective as it makes the artist match the album cover and the artists name.
 I then decided that this image was not a good enough image to use for the front cover so I chose this image.
I then thought about the background on this picture and decided it was not good enough as there is not enough of the sky which allows me to put the title in the picture without me having to blend it in to the buildings in the background. As this was my favourite picture that I took of the artists out of all of the other pictures that I took as there were no other pictures, I chose to crop out the artist from this picture and put him in another.
The picture I chose to put the artist in was this background image that I took which was originally for the inlay but still can be used for the inlay as it relates the front cover to the inlay. I cropped out the artist from the picture above and put him and the bannister he is leaning on onto this background shot. This allowed me to put the original title from the old CD cover in the sky of the new background image while the cut out of the artist is in the image.
