CD Cover Design Brief
About to launch my first EP. My band in Union Gray and we play Country. Most specifically, Red Dirt / Texas style country. Think of bands like: Cross Canadian Ragweed, Whiskey Myers, Stoney LaRue, Pat Green. My influences in songwriting come hugely from Bob Seger as I did grow up in Detroit. So really blending those types of feels are crucial. I will include a quick mockup I did to give an example of feel. Please don't feel you need to copy that idea necessarily. I just added that to give a visual cue. As well, I will include a logo. I'm looking for something that suggest freedom, openness, rural, midwest, riding, opportunity, simple life, acoustic. Looking for a concept for a DigiPak layout for cover, credits and disc itself.

Requirements
Must have
- CD (disc art) / DigiPak art for cover and insert for credits. Something that is easy for me to edit in photoshop for inserting credits, song info, etc.
Nice to have
- Clean. Stands out and pops. I've updated the brief to include some album covers that I like, including a poster that I designed. Please don't feel locked in to the sample album cover I did. That's just one feel to give an example. I'm seeing a lot of people just rehashing that look and frankly, not as cleanly.
Should not have
- Don't want logo on front. Don't want picture of me on front.
