SLAM covers

These are a couple of designs I'm entering to be chosen as the cover for SLAM. I used Photoshop and Illustrator to mix filters and colors on photos I took. Then I placed text and applied effects. I wanted to make the designs eye-grabbing and I think I succeeded especially in the duotone one. It's hard to pick between the two because I like how easy to read and recognize the duotone cover is, but I like the colors and composition of the other one.
