I've sent it to your hotmail thing. It's something I pulled together in paint. It should give you a basic idea of what I'm looking for. Ok I made something very fast just to be sure if this is what you are looking for of some kind. I will get new pictures since these ones doesn't really fit with each other. [Click On Picture For Original Size]EDIT: New picture added, JPEG Format with High quality and slightly blur to get the best result.Now I havent added title cuz I rlly dont know yet where to put it, wherether to be big or small and how much to fill. But just had to be sure; 4 pictures of each spring, her in middle. Right? //.. Regards

Why you save it as GIF? This format have only 256(8 bit) colours of palettes . If it is not animated image, then you must to save as jpg. Especially if you want to keep photographic quality. But, if it is animated, better you save as PNG

Yeah, that's awesome. But the top of her face MUST be covered. No eyes.
Could I have preferably no blur between AnnaSophia and the pictures- put the picture of AnnaSophia on a different layer. Maybe you could smooth out the edges on the figure to make sure it's not too sharp. And the four seasons should have no labels, please. If you could use different pictures for the seasons- more landscapey and scenic rather than iconic.
I was thinking, instead of using the seasons as a background, we could imprint them as images on a dress. If you use some of the pictures of her at the Critics' awards, that dress seems plain enough.
...Yeah. Sorry for sounding like a prat.

Like said the pictures id use I would change but just did some fast. Now, ill take her to another layer and sharpen her abit, dont get the point of not letting her eyes be seen tho.. Ill try to mix something..

I think you need to make something with title of seasons. Just now it is roughly and it is not in harmony with an overall picture. You know, make these inscriptions different from each other. Not only change of colour . Change the type face, size, form, level of opacity, place it to another place. Or maybe you need to remove it? Experiment with it and I am assured you receive unexpected results

Okay now. 2 more pictures done, 2 steps closer to the perfect Cover. Here they are: Sample #2[Click On Picture For Original Size {800x600}]Sample #3, the texts in this one is different for each word, thanks for the tip, flycat.[Click On Picture For Original Size {800x600}]Both pictures has taken away half of the head of her's, since thats what you wanted. Blur on AnnaSophia herself is on purpose to get loss of the very sharp and low quality details on her. Trust me, this is best. Will update the picture soon, fixing the form. Please let me know if there's anything missing or anything else. //.. RegardsEDIT:Update later will also indicate fixing text. I will give details about whats changed when i've upload the updated one, and got a reply from you, Paperchase. Still a few buggers has to be corrected on the pictures.

Now background is very good, but Anna is not. She is Yellow also stand out. To dissolve her in a picture. Make her a part and parcel of the general whole. Or Anna is not need, without her the picture would be looked well? Remove Anna Ha, ha, it is a joke

Ok guys I am new here... but this sounds like a fun idea. I read some earlier posts but got kind of lost... where are you guys at right now? In terms of talent... I can bring music prodcution as well as mixing and mastering to the table if you guys need any help in that area. I'll try to read more so I can catch up but if someone could fill me in a bit that would be great.
Thanks guys

I need your opinion on all this, Paperchase. At the moment im just fooling around with the project, don't know what to change because I dont know wherether you like the new ones or not. Any chance for a reply so I can get further with this ? -- Updated previous pictures. Sample #2/#3 Updated (Read below what has been updated) [Click On Picture For Original Size {800x600}]Sample #4 (With Sample #2/#3 updates) [Click On Picture For Original Size {800x600}]Updates- Made her less wide - Changed orange color to darker yellow - Changed texts - Fixed form (shape) of her. More realistic with less quality details - Arranged texts to right positions - Added 'Worlds best actress' with 'For AnnaSophia Robb' - Optimized the blend. Pictures now blend together more - More blur added - Colorize in Sample #4Expecting in next update- Finding more realistic width - New color on her; More light or staying original ones - Finding the best amount of blur; Most likely less - Changed text position for 'For AnnaSophia Robb Worlds Best Actress' - Optimizing of low quality edges on her form (Arms) THIS CD COVER SAMPLE HAS BEEN DUMPED

Hey, sorry I haven't been on You can find the links on the 'Possible AS Song- First Draft' thread... at least, that's what I think it's called. As for the covers, they're awesome. However, I've gotta be really dictatorish and ask you to make some changes... - AnnaSophia and the entire image in general should retain basically all of their colour. No tint. Try to use auto-level or something to make AnnaSophia match the background. But right now, they're too 'separate', if you know what I mean. -No words, as in no 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter', cos that makes it look like a cheap calendar or something. -The name of the album 'Bridge to Colorado' is just there cos I couldn't think of anything... ideas would be great. -Try to put in minimal black. It looks too... well, black. Try to have something more colourful, and the black just leaves massive voids. Maybe you could fade each image into each other like your very very first version? If you 100% NEED to put in fillers, use white rather than black. -The text shouldn't have white outlining, cause that looks a leeetle bit tacky. Just have solid white text in Garamond font or something. If it's too unclear, then use grey shading. The reason why I don't want AnnaSophia's eyes in the photo is because the artist's face usually makes up the cover. But for obvious reasons, I can't really go posting my face up on the cover, if only for the fact that that would be seeeeriously stalkerish and creepy. So we'll use AnnaSophia more as a 'model' for the CD. Hope I didn't cause you too much grief
