Not much (if anything) changed about the design of the spine and the back - it was always intended that the centre of attention would be the front cover. From this point, I combined all three images (front cover being on the right hand side of the spine and back cover on the left) and applied the same technique of margins and bleed lines guide to the cover before deciding that a spine was a little bit plain - referencing the use of beetles around corpses, I decided they would be subtle enough to place on the spine. It was now that I had a finished version of the cover. The quality had to be sacrificed a fair amount to ensure the image met the requirements of 5mb or less for submission, however I don't feel the damage was too bad.
