album cover

my freshman year roommate eva araya is a singer and asked me to help her with her album cover for her new EP, 'the too young' which you can download for free here.
here are some of the test covers i created before i knew the name of her EP/what she really wanted:

the first one i edited. now that i look at it i think it feels very cheesy and i'm glad we didn't use it.

with a bar across the bottom

my personal favorite, hence the indecisiveness with the color

i really liked the reddish color in contrast with the b&w

she ended up liking the bar idea a lot (#2), so we sat down together and i asked her what sort of vibe/theme went with this EP. she said it was sort of fun and cute. then we found an outtake of the shoot we did that day:

so i turned it into this:

then we did some more research on other covers and then changed it around a bit till i got this:

and that, ladies and gents, is eva's new EP cover. (also don't ask me why it's not 'the too young' on the actual cover. i thought it was called just 'too young EP' and when i figured it out i offered to change it but she said it was fine.)

the font i used was trajan pro, and the program i worked with was photoshop CS4.
