Here are two examples of music CDs that have been desaturated and we believe that both of these have worked effectively to portray a mood, as well as the style of music that they represent. Although, we would like to see a small example of some colour within an image to grab the viewers attention.
We believe this image has extra compositional elements that make it visually appealing and allows the audience to be intruiged by the colour pop that has been used. From our photoshoot at Cranwell Avenue, this is the best photo we have selected. 
We believe that we could either desaturate Ben or we could desaturate the leaves around him. We would like to try both alterations to see which ones are most effective.
These are the two images that were created when we added a colour pop effect to the image. This involved duplicating the layer in photoshop, desaturating the top layer and then simply using the rubber tool to get the parts we wanted in colour.
When looking at the first image we believe it really allows the artist to stand out against the choatic background. It also adds emphasis to the fact that maybe some of the songs are slightly depressing and have a lot to do with life (Eg, Long Live the Queen).
The second image was not as successful. It does grab the viewers attention but it could appear as though the image is representing a crime scene and someone that has recently died. Due to this factor, we believe the first image is significantly more effective and we will be using it within our CD design.
When considering adding text to the front of our CD image, we have looked at our already created double page and what we have used there. In this case, the writing for "Long Live the Queen" is in a font that looks as though it has been hand writen and on a cut out of lined paper. We have decided that we would like to continue this text throughout our entire CD.
The finished effect is below -
