Image by Me (Marianne Webb)
To make this image, I downloaded the background image from Flickr and imported it into Adobe Photoshop. I then typed the Band Name (size 72) in the top-left corner of the image and the Album Title (size 46) in the bottom-left corner of the image. The font I used for the text was "Zapfino" and I chose it because it looked like it was hand-written. I found this fitting as the Album Title was a quote from a famous novelist. I changed the colour of the text to either black or white, depending on the brightness of the part of the background image it was typed over. It also seemed fitting that the word "Ink" was in black.
