I would say green but I don't think it would go well, maybe a pale yellow or a very light oragne. Good luck.

It prorated, a few of the elements of design as well as the principals of design. Very well done. My personal favorite would have to be Smooth. Although I liked digital as well. The colors and the backgrounds were very vibrant and really reflect, the main idea and type of music. The terms rough and smooth, not only remind me of art and music it reminds me of dance. Sharp line, sharp moves, B sharp.....etc. I'm glad I got to check this out. I found this very helpful. It prorated, a few of the elements of design as well as the principals of design.

Definetely the one which caught my eye instantly was the smooth design, it comes across as simple easy to read,great use of colour and plenty of depth which gives it soul as a design which is important when buying music. Rough wasnt clear enough for me to read and didnt catch my eye,but when you actually look at the art work its fantastic,but again if it was on the shelf? Digital came across to me as very cold with no soul and to much happening in the design,personally the colour scheme didnt cut it for me. Keep to mind that Im coming at this from a customer point of view if I walked into music shop and started looking through the a-z, which essentially cd cover design could make or break a music artist in this situation.Im researching cd trends and what works in cd cover design as Im currently recording an album at the minute and am looking for ideas.Also just to let you know, this page ranked 6th on google when i searched 'what people want in cd cover design'. Great project though. kh.

That should cover your needs. You can also trial Adobe Photoshop from their website for 30 days however it is against their terms for you to sell your designs using a trial version.
