CD Cover Design Brief

I am a country singer/songwriter in need of an album cover design (front/back/inside/CD) for my self-titled Nashville-recorded debut-EP release. My musical style is contemporary country/crossover so I want something that has the look and feel of current male country artist album covers (think Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Blake Shelton, etc.).

I have attached several photos and a rough mix of the leading track. The CD template can be downloaded here:

http://www.discmakers.com/templates/ecowallets.asp# (4 Panel Eco-Wallet w/ Spine. Jewel Box Size (W139))

I will let you apply your vision (although I do think a more serious look, rather than the one pic where I am smiling, would be best suited for the cover). As mentioned, the album will be self-titled, as "Bobby McGrath".

I really want the album design to show clearly who I am (may need to crop the pictures that are further away) as this will be going to publishing/record companies, etc. The track order for the back and inside is as follows:

1) Gasoline (Lady Antebellum style, song about meeting someone who is in a relationship) - this is the first track and is kind of the feel that should be reflected on at least the main cover

2) Little Things Like That (uptempo song about a girl)

3) Turning Planes Around (crossover, about a long distance relationship)

4) Ocean Breezes (George Strait style country song)

5) Drink (uptempo, fun party song)



Back Cover - There will need to be some room under the tracks for album credits (producer, etc.) which I will provide upon selecting a designer

Inside - The inside right cover will relist the album tracks and the smaller left panel will have some additional credits and website information (www.bobbymcgrath.com)


I hope I have provided enough direction to get the ball rolling, and look forward to seeing your responses.

Updates

A cool, blue color scheme seems to be the direction I want to go, although not too dark.  It should be contemporary, cross-over (to pop) country feel (not classic, traditional country).
