I loaded my best 5 photographs, from the shoots, into Photoshop, and placed them each in their own layer. I used the brush tool, with the 'Clear' Mode enabled, to brush out the black background. I had the 'Flow' and 'Hardness' setting set low, so that the images could be blended together well. I also added still frames from the video, of the gallery, and of the vocalist, to the background of the album cover, in order to establish a sense of branding, and carry over the video into this product. I applied a filter over the entire cover, so as to neutralise any colour differences, before making a colour correction using the 'Colour Balance' tool, in order to gain the orange/red wash seen in the final cover. Here is a screenshot of the layers that made up the final album cover:
In order to get the same colour correction on the back of the album cover, I had taken screenshots of the RGB colour adjustments I had made to the Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights of the front cover. I then used these as references when altering them, in order to gain the exact same colour wash. Here are those screenshots:
