Record Sleeve

Some ideas for my version of a record sleeve for Lana Del Rey's single, Video Games. I wanted to experiment with photoshop to further developed my ability to combine computer based image  manipulation with handmade work. I do prefer the final magery to look more handmade than computer generated so I drew the background image using chalk pastels, and then combined this with a hand drawn title 'Video Games' which loosly resembles a tattoo, and the related themes therefore of adolescence, love, rebellon, commitment, devotion, pain and disilluson. I need to improve my understandng of combining text with image. I began this process with the title but wasn't then sure how to best intergrate the artist's names. I had chosen a typeface that was reminscent of vntage typewriting but it still looked 'plonked on' , rather than invoking the nostalia I had hoped for. A more modern font and colour embedded the title better into the piece.
