CD Cover Design Brief

We need a graphic design for an upcoming single that we will be putting out in near future. The artist that we are supporting tends to make very introspective, thoughtful music, so the design needs to reflect that element of his personality.

The song is called "NoiseInMyHead", and is about the artist's struggle to understand the different aspects of his personality. Throughout the song, he reflects on areas of his childhood, his working life, his relationship with his girlfriend, and how his neurotic personality tends to lead him astray in all of these avenues of his life.

Our original, internal, ideas for the design were to have a skull sitting from and center, with a "Hell-like" background (the skull would be in Hell). There would also be small missiles towards the top of the design pointing down towards the skull, with little Demons clinging onto the missiles. Also, there would be female background singers somehow incorporated into the design. (The backstory here is that the song was originally titled "When Demons Attack (NoiseInMyHead)". Other internal ideas we've thrown around are just the graphic of a skull with a greyish, blue background, with all kinds of activity circling around inside of the skull - things like women, money, and some images that communicated different emotions like excitement, anger, and sadness.

No need to follow our internal ideas, we're interested in seeing the best original design out there. However, in some way or another, the design should communicate chaos inside of the artist's mind somehow, and his generally persistent feelings of confusion and angst, with a minor glimpse of hope in the design somewhere. Good luck!
