One aspect of a retail cover or poster that makes it look professional is a strong understanding and clever use of color combinations. I believe that color combinations should be one of the first design choices made when approaching a cover (after image selection). I hope this inspires some great covers!

Blue/Green

I couldn't agree more

These are great examples. These could be very useful for people to reference to when making their covers!

Most definitely!

That's what i do, in fact most of these samples were made by me
