Street Angel cover - different versions
 

Hey everyone!

I have often read about the disappointment where the cover of Street Angel is concerned, usually being referred to as her worst album cover. With this in mind, I decided to just try something different and make my own. I thought it might be fun for those of us who enjoy doing some graphic work to see what we could come up with as an alternative cover for Street Angel.

So here it is:

I'm not overly thrilled with the results and may try something entirely different in the future.... but I'd love to see what some of you might come up with too!

A big thanks to GoldDustOrphan for providing the promo shots I used in the new cover!

What's so bad about the cover to Street Angel? It's pink and pretty, and a vast improvement over the hideous cover for Other Side of The Mirror with it's red dress, red lips, red flower, and unsexy pose on the floor.

The Street Angel one is boring. It is just her looking down and very pale and pink. It isn't that it is bad, it just isn't good. I love the cover the The Other Side of the Mirror. Yeah, she's on the floor and her makeup is a little intense, but it looks very much like something that would be on the other side of the mirror.

I guess, after The Mirror Crack'd

There is NOTHING about the TOSOTM album that is good....NOTHING.

Ok, I take that back...."Rooms On Fire"....OTHER THAN that ONE song....NOTHING!!

Chili - that's harsh! I will say that I StillMiss Someone is a very close second to Jane for the worst song she's recorded, but I love Rooms On Fire and really quite like most of the rest of the album. I just wish she hadn't worked with Kenny G!

The Street Angel cover, while certainly not the most interesting cover to me, actually suits me fine... it never really has bothered me in any way. But I know a lot of fans don't really care for it, so I thought I would try and come up with something different just for fun.

Sadly the publicity shots for SA were among her most brilliant, yet one of her most lifeless shots ever made it to the cover.

The 'Timespace' cover is just as boring and uninspired as 'SA'.

And let's not forget 'Enchanted' - by that artistic genius Chris Nicks! :rolleyes:

I really don't like the Street Angel cover. It's one huge pink mess, and the typography is awful too.

I don't really like TOSOTM cover either, but, that's just so... 80s, so I bet at the time it didn't look so... eh.

Timespace is a bit naff too really.

I would have loved it if the picture of Stevie on the left hand side of your cover was the real cover, I think that's a stunning shot of her D:

I didn't like the pale pink color of the SA album or cover and didn't like the hair on the OSOTM album. But in long wispy clothes like Stevie wears, they look dramatic in photos when sprawled out on the floor. No different than the effect for The Dance cover. I am taking pics soon. And some will be on..... the floor.

the picture wasnt that bad... it was mostly the terrible fonts and lack of art direction.
It was JUST a photo slapped up on the cover. not that this is much better... but still....

Nice work! I like that a lot... the Timespace font works well with the cover photo. And the pattern gives the cover much more interest.

I really like it. Better yet, use the back cover pic and re-post in 500x500 and you will be my new BFF. I would love to use your work for the cover art in iTunes for the album.

i would LOVE to.. but i did that faux cover while waiting for a plane.
It's about to start boarding, so i'll have to do it when i get back :)
