Front cover construction

I started off by using the image that was in my 3rd album cover draft and then re-sizing it so it was a perfect square. 

I started off by changing the brightness and the contrast so that the image was more clear and brighter.

I wanted the album cover to reflect the blue hue of my music video so I increased the blue in the picture. This also made the background brighter so that the leaves were again, more prominent.

I then finished off the album by adding the text from the draft on to the newly edited photo.
