Album Cover Design 2

The second design I created in Photoshop.

I tried to keep a similar design style as the first CD cover as the beand liked a few of our ideas in the previous design. But this time I tried to add a little more colour but still keeping the cold, mysterious look. This was done by using a image in the background of a scratch metal which I then set all layers after the background to overlay. This creates the effect that the image is actually inscribed on the metal rather than placed on top. Also shows a sign of aging and more realastic. I used a very bright green to catch the eyes of our audience as they walk pass the album in the shop. Planning as if it would actually happen in real life. The purple flowery effect gives a nice appeal to a more 'scenic' group whom I think this song would appeal to.
