I decided to incorporate the rock gesture known as 'Sign of the horns' in my rock cover simply because it can be argued as the most easily identifiable symbol of rock. I was able to create a saturated colour effect on this cover too which made it look somewhat comic book like which is an often seen contemporary rock feature. That coupled with a photoshoped mouse onto the faces of my two subjects gives the cover a strange and unconventional feel. Other features such as the record company logo as well as the short review with stars are both classic features on any album and makes the cover look far more authentic.
I decided to include the same effects in terms of colour saturation for the back of the album as I think its important to keep a sense of continuity and theme with both sides, very rarely do a cover and back feature different themes. Again the added bar-code was to once more add a greater feel of realism to the backing as this is seen on any album you would buy in any store. A point to make too is the red effect that can be seen under the danger sign, this was done for the simple purpose of allowing the text to be seen over it, also red was chosen due to its connotations of blood, giving it a rock feel.
