I occasionally incorporate my own handwriting into the cover art; with this mix I took that one step further. In ye olden days, when I had time to burn to perfect the sequencing of my mix CDs, I would write each candidate song's title on individual slips of paper and arrange and rearrange them. In this case I literally scanned in these slips and integrated them directly into the back cover art. I don't think I had decided to do this when I wrote out the slips, so my handwriting on the back cover is organically sloppy; I deliberately wrote the front cover text to look as slick as possible and still look like I wrote it myself.
