CD Cover Design Brief

Hi

I'm an eclectic songwriter and I need a funny, zany and very creative cover for my debut songwriter EP. It has music in various genres from a Country Christmas song, a Funny Randy Newman-like tune, a song about the disrespect of the Abraham Lincoln US Coin (The Penny), a motivational Big Band tune, two ukulele jingles like the muppets would sing.

Think of what would catch the audience's eyes and not be like the conventional uplifting CD album cover.

The title EP song "La La La La La" is a lot like the idea of the popular tune"Mahna Mahna" - just a popular saying that puts a smile on your face, gets stuck in your head all day and has a very catchy song hook.


Here's a music video with one of my tunes called "Hey Mr. Lincoln"

OTHER CD cover ideas I've had:

Idea#1- picture of a serious music composer like Beethoven then put some shades on his face with his tongue sticking out, smiling or singing "La La La La La" ( I'm thinking of the Joseph Karl Stieler Beethoven portrait)

Idea #2- Take 1960s album art style and do a post-modern twist with a sexy classy girl picture or something extremely NOT sexy but funny, with La La La La La! printed above or below.. like Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream Album.
