i'll escape if i try hard enough...

Hey whoever you are!

Heres my first attempt at a cover for the 'Marina and the Diamonds' Single, 'Mowgli's Road'.

I'm unsure of what to think of this, it took me a while, and it seems a bit jaggy and amateur. I mean, thats what I am, an amateur, but not what I'm aiming for my work to look like.

On my first listen to this song, I was not given connotations of jungles: a ramble of stark animal screeches and vines hanging from trees. I somehow imagined this song being written in a forest, with people dressed up as these sort of animals. In the end I settled with one lone ghost of a lion, among sunbathed trees. In black and white with colour in both the lion and the Marina logo.

Anyone out there, comment? I need some opinions!

  1. I think it looks like a realistic 7" sleeve. The watermark style lion is very cool.

    I've added it to my collection of fake sleeves here:
