Unorthodox Album Cover - Inspiration

Due to the fact James and I need to create an album cover which relates to the song title 'Unorthodox', we have decided to do some detailed research into album covers that use an unorthodox theme in which to attract their target audience.

Here is an example I found.

I feel this album cover focuses on a simple image of a man standing in a soldier-like position and then having a large amount of hands behind him coming from all directions. This shows how a simple image can be turned into something quirky and eye-catching.

I would like to use a similar idea with my album cover whereby I use the images taken in the studio and then add effects and filters and editing images so they have a greater impact on the human eye in order to make the album cover appealing to my target audience and symbolic of the hip-hop genre.
