I have used Adobe Illustrator to create the clock, and because this was the first time using the programme, I used this vector clock tutorial to help me but changed the colours and modified it a bit. I pointed the clock hands at 11 and 1 because I think it relates to the album name "One by One". I decided to put a clock on the cover because of this and that the song that I have used is called "Times Like These", I feel that this relates to the theme of a clock. I used Adobe InDesign to arrange the elements of the cover to something that I was happy with.

I enlarged the clock, rotated it slightly clockwise and arranged it so that the viewer can see the hands of the clock. I had to enlarge the clock in Illustrator because every time that I tried to do it in InDesign, it made parts of the clock disappear and separate. I copied it over from Illustrator to InDesign and then rotated it and positioned it from there. I chose these fonts because they are simple but add more interest to the fairly simple image. I have kept the colour scheme quite simple like the Foo Fighters have with their other album covers.
I do feel like, however they work quite well, they are too plain. I am thinking of maybe putting a coloured background in too make it more bold like their Color and the Shape album cover. Maybe a green background to accentuate the green clock hands. I will experiment with different fonts and colours too.
