Here, I have clearly demonstrated the final process for the back cover design. I returned to the desynced layering of Jack's image and made the top layer a little more realistic in its colour as to distinguish Jack from the more saturated background. I also undid the new liquifying from the third design and made the background more colourful, focusing on the pink and green. Blue is still included but more in Jack's image, the brick background remaining largely unaltered apart from its colour. Within the images included here, the end product really stands out in how the ooze section - which was to include the track list - was made shorter in order to allow for some space between the list and the necessary copyright material.
The final product includes some text and a barcode as to make it seem more real - when in reality Jack does not need these retail and copyright materials as he only needs a front cover. I inspected a couple of back covers and created something faintly reminiscent of the official copy right text - outlining the text to make it clearer. In terms of the track list, I again hand-wrote the list as to make it seem more indie however I had some issues in Photoshop as the image became extremely pixelated and could not be read when reduced in scale; I was forced to trace the text in Illustrator and transfer the file to Photoshop but nonetheless maintained the 'hand-written' style that I originally aimed to create. Below is a copy of the final back cover:
I have even included some examples from backcovers that I used as reference points in order to write some text about copyright, with a link to Jack's bandcamp also being provided.
