Update front key art...

Tried adding a slight red hue instead of the original sickly green tone the original background image/silhouette of Adèle had (remember the dash above the e should point this way! - è - not é - I think you missed that on your cover, Magnus).

Thanks guys! Means I'm heading down the right road! :)

btw - the egyptian hieroglyphs were picked by random, for all I know it could read 'Bird sh1t on Holy Symbol making Man Wonder'. The dash with the infinity symbol is also an egyptian hieroglyph. Could say 'Loo' ;) :D

Anyway, 'nuff rambling - I'll make the upper dash below Luc Besson a little smaller, to keep with the TT.

Awesome work on these Adele covers guys!

Zung, yours turned out great! Sweet front montage!

Ark, love the front color scheme and design!

JR, great front concept, very well executed... I think the texture of the background transferred into the symbols in the corners would tie it in well.

Thanks a lot Brad! :) And I agree with you on the others' covers :)

Could you please elaborate a little for me? I'm slow :D I was thinking I would bust up the hieroglyphs something like this - but is that even remotely what you meant?

I can share mine with you if you want. I based my own template on OptimumReleasing recent cover for God Bless America.

Here's another font for the TT - which is better?
