lana del rey re make with original photography

lana del rey inspired cd cover:
i originally put on my draft a floral wallpaper and a Polaroid with the image displayed within it, it took a few attempts but my final image was this

 the name of the artist changed to what lana del reys real name is, i get all things similar and the large bold font was copied from other lana del rey album covers to keep an ongoing theme. the floral background gave a vintage feel and the pastel light colours participated with this also.

this is the back cover and used the same font but made the writing more important by making the image smaller.

lana del rey final cd cover and back, inspired draft before original photography (second one)

my first attempt on my second cd cover was to carry on the eyes covered theme and portray a rock style artist so i used a black and white background here:

after this i decided to stick to basing my ideas on lana del rey and just changing the angle of her, without needing to cover her eyes. i felt this was quite boring so i decided to add a poloroid picture to give the cover a more vintage feel.i then decided to create this but the background was too plain, t being just white:                            
 i then decided to add a background, which then led to me changing the picture that fit i with the vintage theme more so than the above original image, i thought the colour scheme should maybe contrast more whilst staying within the pastel kind of scheme also. i then wanted to add a border because it looked to bare, ultimately i came out with this as a final design: 
 
i then had to think about the back cover for this cd which needed to include a barcode and copyright message, i ended up with this: 
 
with the back i decided to keep it simple and relate it to the front but still have a detailed background.
