I selected this vignette background specifically because it was bland, I intended the imagery to be the main focus point of the cover.

In keeping with my new motifs I selected ancient heraldic imagery, the empty crest and the battle axes to represent the ancient times.

This image of a boxer dogs silhouette I selected because it’s minimalist style is very eye catching, simplistic but loud. Also, the visage of this particular breed of dog is decidedly masculine.

This red stripe was added to break up the predominantly black colour scheme as well as to better emulate traditional heraldic crests

I decided to remove the banner since I felt it detracted from the

overall image.

I changed the background because I felt this one better represented the ancient heraldic tapestries
