I prefer the red version, Steve, although the title is swallowed a bit this way.
Did you also try some Spring colors?

This is the best looking version so far, Steve.

Although I like the red hues, I rather associate autumn with them.

Why don't try fresh colors like a greenish yellow or a sunny white or a clear sky blue, some hues that reflect springtime.

These colors are certainly not the most usual ones for a Elvis cover, but, if well handled, they make look pretty cool on your cover.

Just look at Elvis' suit: he wears a yellow sun on his breast and his back.

Do not misunderstand me: I like your design in itself, but I think it would be better fitted for a title like A Hot Winternight in Dallas or so.

Hi Steve!

First of all - you're absolutely correct about doing an alternative cover for this CD! The original 'artwork' is really awful - especially the picture on the front cover is terrible. When I saw it first, it reminded me on "Chicago Beat".:angry:

May I say, that I didn't like the font you used for it?:blush:

Hope you don't mind.

BTW - isn't the front cover shot a picture taken on June 25th or 26th? Also I may add, that the picture quality of both 'big' photos varies a lot - imo.

Kind regards, J?rn
