Worked some more with the back. Decreased the image to fit everything in, and added some clouds and lighting. Planning on inserting a couple of stills in the area below the synopsis.

Still tinkering with the SF's area, not sure about that one yet...

Edit: Oh, and I have kept the legals/credits yellow. Still think I sould go back to white?

Haha!

I was looking forward for some constructive input when I saw BD had replied in this thread, and this is what we get?!?

You guys are taking your designs in fantastic directions and I haven't seen the film, so I didn't really know if I had two cents to throw in on this one.

From a personal perspective? I think the current design looks great and the yellow credits work well on the back -- the way you used the color on the front and spine makes yellow a natural choice and it adds color while drawing less attention to the area than white would.

My generic suggestion would be to try a little more orange and a little more saturation for everything, but that could also take away some of what makes the cover unique. Here's a preview:

I've also attached a .psd of the adjustment layers if you want to duplicate them into your file to see if you like the look: http://www.mrcovers.com/tim/Adele.psd

Thanks Tim!

Tried it and it does spice everything up. I'll finish the cover and apply your adjustments and we'll se what people think

Here we go again... can't find any picture that i like, so i've decided to go back and work with the 1st image i imagined for my cover. Still need to finish the cutout on her hair, but the rest is almost done. Now the problem is i don't know what to do with the bottom of the image.

Mask it with the background? Add another image from Egypt/Paris above it? Add some characthers on that area?
Any help will be great!

Btw, thanks for the idea Tim! But you already know i'll use that on the back
