Initial design of own DVD Digipak design for artist

From the research I have made, I then begun to create this initial design of how I would expect my cover to look. It is without my own designs which may possibly be made, and it can only be called the 'Initial idea' due to how I don't feel ready to begin creating the cover to its final draft so soon. Here's the image;

As you can see, the template is basic, it doesn't need to have anymore on it, aslong as it shows where each section of the cover is, then it can be worked from.

So i've begun my research, and found some ideas, and some artists which have their own unique styles, all that's left to do is to make my own. I thought i'd begin by creating a template for this cover, with the right measurements to ensure that when it is printed, it will fit properly. This involved measuring the lengths by hand, and then placing markers into Photoshop so that I knew where the gap between the spine and both covers would be. Here's an image of the template in which I had created;

Now as I stated, this is a very rough design, it will more than likely change completely to the final design. The spine is similar to that of the DVD cover I deconstructed labelled 'Mobb Legacy - 10 years deep', I just felt that it looked really nice, allowed the text to be easily visible, and helped to create a certain colour theme to the rest of the cover.
The text on the back with the repetitive phrase 'Junk Star Kids' is where the short description of the DVD will be shown, I just simply used this phrase repeatedly to act as a block to show roughly how it could look.
The front cover is what will be important about this design, due to how it will be what people will see before even touching the DVD case. Obviously a DVD label will be included (shown in the bottom right of the design) to signify that this does contain a DVD disc, but it will need to have some image displayed to represent the artist. My idea is to possibly go graphical with the design, allowing me to create something original that shows the artist, and that is bright and colourful to represent the artist and gain attention. A use of typography/text to display the artist's music name 'Junk Star Kids' so that it stands out in big at the top. A grain effect was used on the coloured background to give a retro feel to it, with the use of a gradient to allow more colour to be shown.

Again, most of these ideas have been taken from other artist's DVD/CD covers, but the final design will contain something original that will be liked by both the artist and the public who get to view it.
