Initial practice: CD cover

As I haven't used Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 very often and when I have I give up because I have made something stupid or got confused with some basic mechanic the software allows.
Using the influences of many other indie bands I have decided to include an illustrative aspect, a cartoonist theme simultaneously mixed with a picture of TRASH or a similar picture.
I have gone for a comic book background that I find really interesting when parallel with the black and white photo of TRASH, however, due to my inexperience with the software I was unable to create a relevant edit of the photograph and ended up creating a stupid, messy album cover.

Next time I will plan a more artistic and believable album cover as I will have more experience, despite my lack of experience I believe aspects of this worked really well, the balance of colours, the overlay of TRASH on a simple cartoon background is something that I am seriously contemplating and am planning to extend upon.

One other edit I completed was this one that I prefer.
This edit is much more professional and the fine tuning of the photo has been completed to a higher standard. I also prefer the effect that I have used and the colours it creates, furthermore, the cartoon-esque vibes are a lot stronger in this rendition. It makes them look like a superhero team.
