Digipak flat plans

 I have been designing some flat plans for the cover of my digipak. These are 2 of the designs, the ones I think will look best on a cover.

This is the first one I made, I decided to place the artist in the center of the page and have a close up shot. I placed the parental advisory sticker in the bottom left corner so it would be out of the way and wouldn't cover any of the design on the cover. I put the name of the artist and the name of the album at the top of the cover. On the background I thought it would be a good idea to do some drawings and paintings and photoshop them into the background and have them fading as they go down the page.

This is the second plan I made, I thought I would see what it would look like to only show half of the artists face. I thought it would be good to use a plain but bright background with just the name of the artist and of the album and keep it fairly plain. I kept the parental advisory sticker in the bottom left hand corner like I did on the other plan, as I feel it is the best and most convenient place to have it. I'm not too pleased with how this one looks and don't like the way the half face picture looks. 

For my cover I think I will use the first plan, I think the placement of the artist, and the name of the artist and album work best when placed in the center (picture of the artist) and along the top of the page (name of artist and of the album). I think the idea of having drawings and paintings fading down the page will be a good design and will give the album a sort of scrap book and vintage feel to it.
