Graphic Design Brief

I am a musical artist releasing my first full-length solo album. It is composed of nine original "percussive" acoustic fingerstyle songs. Some of my earlier recordings (not for this album) are available at http://www.reverbnation.com/mattharp for reference. I am looking for creative album art and need both a front cover and back cover/track listing for physical CD replication and online album art purposes. I am open to a more "natural" design using the pictures included in the uploaded files section or to a more artistic design that doesn't use any of the included pictures at all. The name of the album is "Legacy", and artist is "Matt Harp" (me). The track list is:

01) Sunlight Boogie
02) Slapstick
03) Shades of Denver
04) Tucked In
05) Follow Me
06) The Hidden Path
07) Emerging
08) Twilight on Nichols Street
09) Andrea's Song

Here are some album art examples from professional acoustic artists in the same style as a reference:

As you can see, there is a broad mix of both art-based and photograph-based album covers for artists of this style. I am open to either approach, and an example of each would be preferred if time permits.

Thank you for considering my project and for sharing your artistic talents!

Requirements

Must have

• The project must have the album name and artist name on the front cover artwork, as well as the track listing on the back cover artwork.

Nice to have

• Some original, creative album artwork would be nice to have, but I would settle on well-done picture-based album designs (photos included) as well.

Should not have

• The project should not have too "stuffy" of a feel (similar to a lot of classical guitar album artwork which usually features the artist in a turtleneck smiling at the camera with guitar in lap).
