Digipak Design Ideas - Artwork

I've been looking at the artwork of many indie genre digipaks and have found that generally, they do not show the artist, but rather use simple artwork and colours to convey their meaning. Therefore, I would like to use the below photo but editing the colours - blue sky on the outside covers, pink on the inside - and editing the photo to give it a more surreal feel, by distorting the image. This is because whilst the sound of the artist is calm - it's also a bit dreamlike and so a realistic looking CD case would not get across all elements of the music, which wouldn't sell the album well.

Hayley Kiyoko's album cover, which combines a portrait of her with surrealist elements

Imagine Dragons album cover, which uses photo manipulation to create a slightly dreamlike image
