DVD Case Mock ups

Of the 2 sketches I did for the DVD front cover I make mocks ups of them to give a good estimate of what it would look like.

As said in my previous post the first one was very basic.

 

The cutout of Han is the same as in the sketch, I just added a space image behind and the text below. 

If I were to follow through with this simple design, I'd darken Han as it is seems too bright, too much contrast to the dark space background. Also refine the outline removing the white parts, either cutting/recolour them, or feather the outline making it sightly transparent. 

The second sketch design had a bit more going on, below is the quick mock up of that. 

This is the first version:

It is missing the Millennium Falcon, but thought this was worth saving on its own, still trying fro simple. 

Second Version:

Here I added the Millennium Falcon to the bottom of the case.

Third Version:

The only difference between this and No.2 is that it says "Han" inside the first "O", I felt it looked rather barren around there. 

I really like this look, I would go into reasoning, but unsure if I get any marks for artistic insight. In short, his surname is Solo, so I feel like gives the feeling hes alone, going solo, atop a lonely planet.

I tried this with the text behind the planet.

 

This could work, but the planets' outline needs to be smoothed off, also it makes the title in my eyes look wonky, doesn't feel right.
