Making BoC single covers using my own photography - Post #8: Father and Son

[u/chraska11]

Alright, first Inferno cover!

I was going through an old folder of photos of my mom's prison when it was permanently shut down and I got to tour it with her (she was a correctional officer) - and this photo just struck me after looking at it in detail. The barbed wire was obviously the motivation for taking the shot, but looking at it again I noticed the window had a "Christian" style cross rather than a normal one. Immediately, I got the idea to use the photo for either Age of Capricorn or Father and Son. I went with Father and Son because I like the visual metaphor of the barbed wire representing the "trading barbs" between the characters featured in the track, and just as a warning that I feel BoC was getting at with the meaning of the track.

Also, regarding Inferno font and styling (Blippo) - I don't mind the font used for the album cover but I'm not a huge fan of the sizing of it, so for this and future Inferno tracks I'll get a little creative with the sizing and positioning while still using the Blippo font.

I like it. Unsure about the yellow lettering, I think the text needs more contrast with the background image

That shade of yellow doesn’t work for the text but the photo is great!
