Inside Covers - Second and Final Draft

I was not entirely happy with my first attempts at the inside covers. I decided to experiment further with my second and final drafts. The final inside cover is shown below.
This is my second attempt at the first of the two inside covers. I had decided to mimic the layout of a comic book with the different sized panels in order to continue highlighting the connotations of a comic book. Furthermore this would appeal to a teenage audience, as comic books have always been associated as childlike. The red and blue colour creates synergy between the digipak and the music video, as these are the colours always associated with Superman. I have kept the musical notes to include the flow between each cover, as well as the love heart symbolising the love of music.
The second inside cover continued the idea of the comic book layout. The colour background is different however, a lighter purple than the front cover. The upside down image of the female artist creates a feeling of surrealness, as well as dizyness as I have blurred her feet and creates the idea that she has been swept off her feet by her superman. I have incorporated the band's logo so as to almost drill that logo into the audience's mind so as not to forget. Once more, the heart with musical notes has been included to reflect the love of music. However after more thought, I changed the design of my inside covers for a final time. The results are shown below:
I have changed the background back to "cloth purple". This was done to create a flow and familarity throughout the product. I have also used the musical notes again to continue a flow and to make it constant. However this time I have included the bands logo in a more recognizable place on the layout, in the center. I have cut the logo in half as it will continue across onto the other panel, reinforcing the image of the band on the customer. The blue glow adds to the comic book/surreal effect.

The final inside cover is shown below. Again the musical notes have continued across onto this panel to reinforce the constant theme throught the digipak, of music. The second half of the bands logo is placed at the top of the cover, immediately drawing the audience's eye. And the speech bubble again reinforces the theme of cartoon and comics, due to the bands "hit single" Superman, creating synergy between the video and digipak.
