- Status: Closed

Contest Brief
We need a CD album cover for an album cover for the artist "Cutting Crew". They had a number 1 worldwide with the song "I Just Died in Your Arms" in the 80s. A client is putting out a new album from them where they have re-recorded their hits with an Orchestra. We need artwork for the FRONT cover of this release.
What we are NOT looking for is for someone to get a load of clip art, arrange it and drop letters on the top. We are looking for some art as the centrepiece. We will add the TEXT above the image later on. So NO TEXT on the design please. The image provided must be fully usable to. No licence fees. Ideally your own creation.
CONTENT: For this we are open. We are looking for a piece of art. It may be something that you already have which is fine. Something that an Orchestra may inspire. We don't want simple photographs unless they are stylised. It is fine to use imagery of an orchestra (violins, flutes, brass etc) but fine not too. But again stylised (for example Adobe Stock 222170369 of a violin is interesting - but too much of a simplistic component). If you want to use musical symbols (Treble Clefs etc) then it is a possibility but only if they are highly stylised.
COLOUR TONE: Here some colour / style references of designs and styles we like (please do not do direct copies of them - this is more for tone).
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/french-horn-watercolor-musical-instruments-justyna-jbjart.html - we like this. Colours maybe too bright. Plus its just one instrument. but nice.
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/332703491208693074/ - again same idea. Watercolour instrument.
http://www.wangchung.org/aday050.html (we love the image here. We will probably also lay up the winning design like this).
https://cargocollective.com/IBHWCart/Queenwood-School - nice idea - but too much colour
On https://www.designformusic.com we like the designs for Glynn Owen. Discovery, Titans Of Olympia
https://99designs.co.uk/logo-design/contests/private-string-teacher-790722 - the winning design is nice. But only a violin.
We will be very engaged in the design process and provide lots of feedback when the designs come in.
The deliverable are the front and back cover and record label in PSDs in FULLY editable form, with all layers.
Please state in your bid if you are a single person working or an broker / agency (both are fine)
