Hehe, yes of course, but don´t blame me for quality then. The PDF is at lowest quality already.

Also you will miss a lot of the details.

EDIT: Fixed the size and quality. Please view the whole image, not only the small in the forum previewer.

Just out of curiosity, is it based on the original cover (haven't seen it, but I know of the band MUSE)?

Anyway, the front (outside) looks pretty neat, took a while until I realized it said MUSE in the middle there though. Inside of the front is fine as well, though it could probably do with something more, something that pulls your attention, some more opaque colours.

The back (inside) is decent, and doesn't need a lot of detail considering it is behind the CD, though I can't help but feel the white clouds are too dominant in this one, should be something like with the front- that they are only there to break the chaos. Concluding that this part lacks chaos, pretty much like the inside of the front does as well. Outside (ie back of the cover) looks neat, but I dislike the red spatters, and it looks unfinished compared to the front. I'd add some more detail there and stick with the same style as the front (same colours for the spatter and so on).

As for the CD itself, honestly I don't like it. The black/grey that is there to make a face of the shape does not look very good together with the orange at all. Perhaps red would look better? I mean, the idea is nice, I don't mind it being a silhouette of a face on the CD, but the colours and contrast is wrong, in my opinion.

Keep up the good work - lykke til!

Thanks, for the feedback.

Amm... How can I say this... Most of the illustrations and colors have been made and picked out especially.
They all play a big role in the CD cover´s theme. The clouds are trying to hide the sun. And once the sun comes... Bang! It´s there. (This sounds ridiculous..)
One of their songs is about a boy´s father, who never really understand that his boy is growing up. One day the boy moves out and the father suddenly realizes that he is a grown up now. Like the sun, which was behind the clouds.
(If that made any sense at all to you..)

No it´s not an existing cover.

EDIT:

One more thing: The colors and shapes are not perfect doe the resizing.
You really need to see the cover with the graphics inside to get a feeling on how the colors and tones play with each other.
