it looks good, but the TT is really hard to read, have you tried a different colour b/c its getting lost in the sky right now.

about the title and sky. It's looking good and coming together nice. A small thing though, can you drop the font size on the comma after Tom Hanks a size or size half... looks almost as large as the letters

Thanks for your replies, guys - and thank you for affirming me in my own doubt about the TT. Thought about going with a black one, but don't know. Any ideas? :cheers:

My own fav as well, altho levels/contrast/brilliance could do with a boost. :whistle:

Also need a good idea for the TT color. :cheers:

I'm gonna vote for blue mate, about the tt personally I don't have a problem with reading it and thinks it works very well as is, but I guess you could do it in a light grey maybe?
Not really thinking black could be great for it??

the 2nd version work better with the back cover and looks more natural

If you adjust the back with a more blue ocean and a more blue sky, the first version looks better.

It depends on personal taste, but if you talk about natural, i thought normally water colors blue for our eyes and not a mix between brown and blue. Same for the air.

But integrating brown into this design gives this design a more Pacific (WWII) look. So at the end i will pick version two.

Anyway, nice design job Jolly!

Almost done Jakob, and very well executed!

Sand tone is the best one, it balances the colours between the front and the back. And it also gives the cover that war feeling.
TT should be darker, pick a color from the dark areas of the front and youâ€™ll have a winner here.

And an update.... New TT, text fixed. I really hate working with that font - all spaces, commas and so on are overlarge when typing. So I've had to go back, find each space and whatnot and make them pt 1 - 1 1/2 pts smaller than letters.
And of course I had to adjust each letters' size to decrease an/or fix the space in between the letters
themselves. Always mix up kerning and leading, but you know what I mean

Apart from the BD25s I'm working on, I think perhaps that it's a definate possibility that this perhaps, as in maybe is the final version. Or not! :chin:
