This is the original photo with the background removed so we could put the image of the band against the patterned background we had chosen to use. However I cannot find a way to have the image as just the band. Even though i have removed the background there is still white space behind them so when I paste the image onto the poster there is a large blank space behind them rather than the patterned background, which ruins the poster's image.

This is my unfinished poster. We used the same pattern we used for the digipack to create the appearance of a sea of thorns. I have both images, original and edited, on the poster to compare which ones blend in better with the background, as neither will work I'm trying to find alternative ways to present the band in the poster. We've gone against by convention by having the poster and the album cover directly relate. From my research i saw that most band's/artist's album covers and advert only indirectly relate, or there's only small elements of the two that relate.
