Wrong! This is definitely much better.

Here's my attempt from a few years ago with primitive editing software and knowledge. I loved the SA session pictures and thought there was more that could be done with them. On reflection, this has a lot of the same problems as the original cover. I might redo it!

that font looks way better...and it looks better over all if you take all that pink out and put some color back into her face

I disagree. She's supposed to be an "Angel"...all white and glowing. Yours looks too saturated.

I like how this looks....and the logo from TS I never minded its just the picture on that one and SA that could've been way better and Enchanted too....All these beautiful outtakes and theres a stupid feather for the cover. Nice way to market yourself with your image.....I'll never understand. I think the SA outtakes are better than what was put on the LPCover shot. Maybe someone has them. I know yrs ago they were posted for sale on ebay....with mock cover and logo art. ....Now on the picture above what about a back photo?? with the song titles??

Ps: I've also not been crazy about the TISL LPcover photo too. Again the outtakes are much better esp the one with the flowers and Stevie is actually 'looking' at the camera....thats a more beautiful photo....than seeing her back side.....At least IMO.....

I like the cover of TISL. She had already done full body covers before of her facing the camera so I think she wanted to keep that, but this time while walking away (in the boots) with her beautiful clothes and hair blowing in the wind for effect. I thought it was a lovely full photo of her, and a change. But she'll never please everyone and that's ok.

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!

I love this! Sort of more reminiscent of her other album covers...maybe I would do a more bella donna- esque font or something, but I love what you did with the pix!!!
I'd buy it

OOO love what you did with the back cover!! The front is nice, too, but the back is awesome!!

This is a huge improvement over the original. I think they should have gone with those great promo shots they used for the posters and that one smaller photo that was sold at part of the tour merchandise, where she has no shoes on. She looked absolutely beautiful in all of those shots. One of those should have been the cover.

It is amazing how changing the font can make all the difference, I've never liked the SA cover (not a huge fan of the album itself either), but the Timespace font is a big improvement. I always thought the photo itself was cruddy, but even by just changing the font it improves it.

No, this is so much better! Chris Nicks should be sued for defamation because his art direction was criminal. Why was this hack job approved in the first place? Did Stevie (and her management) just not care? Where was the quality control? It's nice that Stevie is so supportive of her brother, but this is case where nepotism did not work in her favor.

EXCELLENT work! Far better than the actual album artwork.

This is now the cover on iTunes, for me. Thankyou; I love it!
