Digipack Album Cover Idea - Paint

In researching album covers for my digipack, one idea came to mind that I believe could be used to boost my grade up, whilst expressing myself artistically - I paint my album cover design.

This is a technique used by several indie bands such as; alt-J (for their second album 'THIS IS ALL YOURS', as well as their singles 'HUNGER OF THE PINE', 'LEFT HAND FREE', and 'EVERY OTHER FRECKLE'), The Wombats (for their singles 'MOVING TO NEW YORK', 'KILL THE DIRECTOR', and 'LET'S DANCE TO JOY DIVISION'), Green Day (for the majority of their albums such as 'AMERICAN IDIOT', 'DOOKIE', and '21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN'), and The Stone Roses (for their self-titled debut album).

   

I think the reason that these artists choose to have artwork for their album covers is that they are eye-catching to the audience, as well as further exaggerate their artistic side that they are trying to convey in their musical career.

With this research in mind, I set out to try and do a first draft of what I want my album cover to look like. Unfortunately, however, the red paint available was too strong and over-ran all of the other colours on the sheet... leading to this angry backdrop piece:

 

I guarantee that my actual album cover will look much better than this.
