Trying back panel ideas on Photoshop

As I did not want to just create one final back panel with no developments, I decided to try out many different ideas in order to make a decision of which design worked best and complimented the front panel well. This would make sure that I was definately choosing the best idea for the CD cover.

The above print screen is a possible background design for my back panel. Although I like the sky image, I feel it would look too much once text and other features have been applied. However, I would like to use colours related to those in the sky above.

Above is another example of how I could design my background. This simplistic theme may work well on the CD cover, however, I feel this may look a bit too plain and may need a subtle pattern to take away from the bare look. 

In order to add some detail to a plain coloured background, I decide to experiment with the brush tool to create some hand drawn hearts. I varied the types of brush to create different effects. However, I think the plain brush tool with a slight smudge around the edges looks the best as I think the grass effect brush tool looks too much. I will definitely consider using the heart shape on the back panel.
