CD cover inspirations

In order to begin the design process of my CD cover, i required some inspiration and a general theme to base it's creation upon. I decided to create four different sections dedicated to different styles; Floral/feminine, Abstract/interesting, Lights/mystical, and Colourful/fun.
From these different styles i was able to distinguish those which i liked best, and will be best suited to my actress and chosen song.

Lyric analysis

I am hoping to create a music video using a mainstream , energetic pop song, so i analysed these long lyrics from a possibility Katy Perry- Teenage dream. I like this song because it's upbeat, appeals to young people and there's a lot of ideas that work with the lyrics. I analysed the lyrics to try and uncover hidden concepts/messages which could be useful to be aware of pre-production.
