Digipak - Album Front + BackCover

First attempt at making a cover for the album using the pictures taken from the previous post.
This is the rough front cover for the digipak made in Adobe Photoshop.

I used a blend effect on the original photo to make the white parts of the background transparent. I then added a white layer for a background. The blending got rid of the white and left the silhouettes of the members. The addition of the white background is there to compliment the black silhouettes and was somewhere I could write the album and band name.

I'm still a novice at photoshop so couldn't really add any spectacular effects, although i did add a drop shadow on the text.

This is the rough copy of the back cover in a similar style to the front cover using the same blending method. The cover only has a hat since it was supposed to be an integral part of the music vid - however since it is only a picture of a hat the cover looks a little bland. My next step is then to try and get some better pictures of the hat; maybe with some other items, a better picture of only the hat or use a different idea for the back cover.
