The Enneagram: Day 41, What should the cover be?

I really need to work on recording. I've been getting lazy, I know. Or maybe I'm taking a necessary break. After all, I wasn't home until 2:30 last night as I spent most of the day either going out or sleeping. But I haven't finished the recording yet.

I have however been thinking about the cover for the album. At first I thought, well of course put the Enneagram on the cover. After thinking it over though, I wasn't sure if that would be best. After all, the symbol is already on the CD, and wouldn't two copies be overkill? Also, even if I showed clear image examples of it, no ones going to understand what it means unless they look it up themselves. So should the cover be something else?

For some reason, the idea popped into my head to take of picture of me sitting on the floor wearing a dress and holding a crumpled up paper heart in my hand. Almost like the person teared the heart from their body and destroyed it, which is one of the principal ideas of the Enneagram. I created a make-shift tripod by hanging my camera from the mic stand and I took this creepy picture.

I liked the blurriness

I edited it over a little, and I added an Enneagram symbol with a swan in it, because pasted text looks awful and swans are pretty.

I think it's kind of cool. But why didn't I just leave this as a surprise? Well, I think it might be a little ridiculous. I feel like I'm taking myself way too seriously, that having a cover like that is overdoing it. Not to mention that it doesn't have much to do with the album, and it looks like someone who's just gone through a bad breakup.

I also need to figure out how to present during STAC Live. At this moment it looks like I'm going to be making a slideshow video of some sort, but a slideshow of what exactly? I've kind of put off thinking about it, but tomorrow is Sunday, and it is essentially my last day to work. This means I have to figure it out soon. But I'm sure I'll get something. I always do.
