Most of Eminem's singles have bold writing in black, white and red rather than including images. This means that we only have to take photos to go on the back page and a photo to go inside on the centre page. We have draw up some ideas which we can work from and see what the images look like before deciding on the final images that we are going to use.
Once we had drawn up our plans, we then went out and took some potential photos for us to use, below you can see the photo that we took to use for the back of the album.
I am going to edit this picture to make it look like an image that Eminem would want to be associated with his personal image. This will mean that i am going to need a add effects such as a crack in the wall, make the image darker and add a font which is similar to ones that have been used on previous album covers by Eminem.
From the picture above, this is what we created when using Photoshop. We used a number of effects including changing the saturation and the overlay feature to add a crack into the wall. This helped to make it look like 'Eminem' punched the wall and cracked it rather than just him clenching his fist and looking like he is punching the wall.

After editing the picture once, we decided to do it a second time to see what effect we could create. This time we decided to add more effects and try and create an image which looks different again. This time we left the colour quiet dull and just put an overall darker colour so that it looked more like a cover Eminem would use.
Before deciding which image to use as the actual cover, we made sure that we tried out a number of different fonts in different colours on each background to see which ones showed up and which ones didn't look as good.
