Cover Makeover – Breakfast In America

By Trev April 28, 2016 11 Comments 1 min read

This weeks Cover Makeover – Breakfast In America is the best selling album from the band Supertramp. It was their sixth album and featured four U.S. singles, ‘The Logical Song’, Goodbye Stranger’, ‘Take The Long Way Home’ and the album title, ‘Breakfast In America’.

I’ve kept my makeover of the album quite simple this week. The gateway to America ‘The Statue of Liberty’ has been changed and I’ve added a waitress complete with drinks tray in position of Lady Liberty. I’ve used the same backdrop of New York that I used in last weeks makeover and added a fried egg with a radial colour stripe as the rising sun. I’ve tried to make the overall picture appear to be breakfast time.

That’s it for now, but if you’d like to take part you can find out more here. Cover Makeover – Breakfast In America.

  Thank you very much Julz, I appreciate your kind words. The font is called ‘budmo jiggler’ which I think I got from urbanfonts.com. It was free.

A Room Full Of Books
Being in a room full of books is like being in a room with all of your friends. Each one is a conversation, full of memories or imaginations, telling stories to keep us enthralled. Other books are full of knowledge, how to bake a cake or make a cupboard. Some are colourful with pictures and […]
Spending The Day With An Old Friend
There’s nothing wrong with spending the day at the graveside of an old friend or loved one. If we’re lucky they may even turn up in the flesh, so to speak. I chat with a lot of people who are no longer with us. Old friends, family and neighbours. You don’t have to visit their […]
