more cd cover ideas

I have just thought up 4 ideas for pictures for the cd cover or inside booklet for my cd cover. I have also thought up two ideas for the text to use for the cd cover. The first of my four picture ideas is one I have mentioned before which is taking a close-up picture of one detail of each of the three hide and seek game locations, and mix them together to make one picture. The one new part to the idea that I think might work is to have a picture of the starting location of the factory super-imposed on top of or underneath the other location shots to possibly symbolise or connote urban superiority. The second of my four picture ideas is to use stills of the last three shots we use for the music video which show the seeker chasing the hider across the three game locations just before catching him which shows synergy between our cd cover and our music video. The third of my four picture ideas is a picture of our main character in the position he is in right before we show the start of the hide and seek game which sitting against the wall of the factory with the hood of his hoodie down, and his knees drawn up to his chest possibly looking scared or blank faced to show having his own freewill, personality, or wishes taken from him possibly by the grayness or uniformity of the city. The last of my four picture ideas is to basically combine the first and third ideas but add the two hider and seeker characters in miniature running around the main characters feet with puppet strings attached to them which could symbolise the main characters ultimate control of his own mind. Though this idea will probably have to be simplified to be any use in this project. These ideas are yet to be confirmed as Tom wasn't in today, and since we are partners in this project I must consult him before I put any ideas into effect myself since he may have some improvements upon these ideas or ideas of his own. The same can be said of my ideas for the text or lettering on the cd cover for which I have two. The first idea is to have the lettering in gray while the picture is in colour with the font as sort of faded typewriter lettering which shows denotations of wanting to catch attention, and symbolises the state of mind of the main character of our video as possibly forgetful or the personality of our videos main character as being overpowered by his environment. The second idea is to have the words in red while the picture is in gray which has possible connotations of the theme of our video of a man on a mission which is fullfilled.
