Create and design an amazing artwork for a MUSIC CD Cover - GUARANTEED CONTEST

TaoArts

This is going to be an Audio CD that I produced for relaxation, dancing and dreaming. It is a mix of World Music and Meditation Music. So the goal of the CD is to give people high quality music with lots of real musicians, instruments and atmospheres for several purposes such as meditation, relaxation, yoga and so on ...

There are two possibilities for you as an artist. The first one is to follow a clear outline and the other one is to go along with some keywords and brainstorming I give and you see if something comes to your mind/heart that goes along.

POSSIBILITY 1: clear outline:

I have something quite clear in mind. It is a design that is meant for the front and backcover of the CD Case. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO I UPLOADED. IT GIVES A GOOD HINT IN WHICH DIRECTION TO GO. THE WAY IT IS PAINTED DOESNT HAVE TO BE THE SAME :-) Its just an idea.

What should be on the picture?

Since the music is a lot about dreaming and having a childlike nature in perceiving reality, being open minded and imaginative, I want a little child in a child's room (with toys and so on) looking outside a window (I enclosed a picture of what I mean, please dont copy it because it is copyrighted but it gives you a good idea).
The childs imaginations lets the window half vanish and the sky/universe comes inside the room.

As I said ... the enclosed picture is just an idea. You can be creative about it and do it your own way.

The child can be a boy or a girl. It doesnt matter. The childs hand could for example be reached towards the universe. Also if you have your own creative ideas dont totally stick to the picture I send.

Imagine just a little child being open and seeing great things that we as adults sometimes fail to see :-) So I am open for other suggestions but please do not copy the original and remember it has to be a panorama because it should fit on front and back of the CD Box. I enclosed the picture of a CD Box so you can see what I mean.

You are free to change the basic idea, make the picture more colourful ... dont feel in any way completely fixed on the sample I uploaded. Feel free to experiment with the basic idea and change it. 

One more thing: if you choose to do this version ... make the child and the universe in someway interact. Not just a child watching the universe. Maybe some colors of light are floating to the child or lots of little round stars/orbs are floating down or some "tentacles of light" come from the sky embracing the child. Make a bridge between the sky and the child. 

POSSIBILITY 2: if you cannot find inspiration in the first description just go along with these ideas and maybe you find something different that I would like the same. So I describe you some feelings that could describe parts of the Audio CD:

"Blissful state of being, ecstatic state of mind, playful, childlike open minded nature, meditative, colorful and flowing, connecting with the universe, female energy that is both soft and strong, childlike innocence, spiritual journey, deep trance journey"

Maybe if you catch one, two or three of those feeling you can find an artwork that fits the description.

It is mostly about the artwork. if you want to design the cd a bit or make an additional design for the cd itself, backside tracklist ... i would love that because i see that some people already handed in very beautiful suggestions for the design of tracklist etc.

Then you have two choices:

Possibility 1 / clear outline:

On the front (or right side) can be the universe/room of child with child in front of window - artwork and on the back (or left side) can be just be the continuation of the childs room or the continuation of the universe that enters the room as in the picture ... or maybe you have a better idea. It should look painted or drawn with colours. 

Possibility 2 / go along with the ideas I gave in the description above and see if you have an idea that expresses it.

THE DIMENSIONS OF THE CD COVER YOU CAN SEE ON THE PHOTO I ENCLOSED. Final artwork should be delivered in High-Res quality in the most common formats.

THANK YOU! Looking very much forward!!!
