Parting of the Ways Version 3 Work In Progress

Here's my 3rd attempt at a decent cover for Parting of the ways. The map of the Gamestation from my first cover has returned, and with different pictures of Rose and Jack I felt it was necessary to lose the hologram Doctor for a "proper" one. Not sure how to finish it off though.

Parting of the Ways V2

As my first cover(s) for Parting of the ways drew criticism for being too busy, small images and an overall lack of composition, I removed several elements, and tried harder to implement more of a colour scheme. After a google search I found a great image of a red starry sky, and I made more of the explosion in the background, so that it became a bigger part of the cover. I also took my own screencap of Jack shooting at the Daleks for inclusion and Rose's worrying time playing The Weakest Link, to reflect a bit more of the story.

Series One - The Complete Collection

Now that I have finally created covers for the whole of Series One, I can show off what the complete collection looks like! Of course, I may change some covers in the future, but for now I highly doubt I will revisit these covers any time soon. They've taken me long enough to do as it is and I'm quite happy with them as they are :)




Cover 16: Parting Of The Ways

A trying cover to create! I hope I have done well, I looked at some other covers and tried to be different by adding some of the gameshow elements from episode 1 (a.k.a. Bad Wolf) such as the BB camera and Trin-E and ZuZannah, as well as including the Game Station (a.k.a. Satellite 5). I was going to include images of Lynda with a 'Y' and Rose playing The Weakest link, but they cluttered it up somewhat. I HAD to include hologram-Doc though :)

 

More Daleks in this version:

Boom Town V2

Much better than my first attempt, I realised that it would be nice to have something in or near the centre of the image, so used a picture of the Blon Fel-Fotch Passaday Slitheen's egg, with the TARDIS from the climax of the episode behind it and also separating Rose and Mickey, which I felt appropriate to include. This episode focuses on 2 relationships: on a larger scale, that between The Doctor and his foes, and on a smaller scale, the relationship between Rose and Mickey, which is really called into question here. There is also the general theme of giving people that second chance, which I mentioned in the blurb. A simple cover for a simple yet effective episode (plot holes aside)


The Empty Child 4

Still tweaking, still getting negative response. Hopefully this will lighten the cover a bit, which covers previous complaints. Hopefully it is a little more balanced also.
