I've developed this over quite a well as a personal art project with a friend. I've used no external sources to create this it was all developed by myself, but of course my friend helped on the modelling side to it and idea creation. I know the back would certainly look more symmetrical if the tone and brightness was slightly altered however this was a deliberate choice by me, just pointing it out as I'd expect this may be a upfront criticism. To the point I'm very happy with what we've created. I wanted to share this part of our project with the site. Finally please view the full image.
Comments and thoughts are always appreciated.

Size this up a little bit so we can see it. Just make it better to be seen while presented. I like the blues though!

It's sorta cool i guess, but this doesn't feel like a cover that would be unique to imagine dragons, it's pretty generic looking.

Could you elaborate? I love to hear criticisms as it will improve my overall work in the future.

@rob2197 Not much I can elaborate on, i just think imagine dragons as a band was a poor choice for this style of cover.
IMO it would have worked better for some female pop star.

@rob2197 Just me nitpicking though :P

Good to see you back.
I really like that you took a different approach and used your own materials to create this. I feel like it fits Imagine Dragons in terms of color and pattern, though not sure about the girl fitting into the formula, however it certainly does not scream NOT Imagine Dragons (if I'm making sense?).
My only issue with the box is the lack of anything to contrast with all the bright blues and purples. I think it would have done more to bring some warm colors into the mix, since you did that a bit with the vinyl. I think having some accents of that gold or something of the sort would make it pop more, but yeah, really great job with the CD itself.

Thanks very much. Yes I agree I may try to work some more gold out the design to match with the vinyl. As well the reason I used an individual in the photo cause the time for the project the course is working on is 'emotion represented within a photographical design' which can also be developed as a graphical design. As well as I've stated in other comments I did want it to be a bit different to the typical imagine dragons covers.Thanks a lot for the comment.
