After many problems with the back cover not properly matching up (the fence on the front was not symmetrical to the fence on the back) we finally decided to just take one extra long shot then place it over the whole of the CD cover as this meant the fence was completely lined up. As the bottom part of the image is slightly busy we decided to put the track list in the sky and we feel this works very well. By decreasing the opacity of the image, it softens it slightly and also because we added a yellowish background, it has a slight sepia tint to the image. The font is very idiosyncratic to keep to the usual conventions of Kimya Dawson and how she uses animation and quirkiness to express her fun personality. Overall, we are happy with our CD cover as it is how we expected it to be. The only change is the back cover as we originally had the girl on the back cover as well as the front, however we tried it and it didn't look as good because there were houses in the background and had no room for a track list.
