Waves and collage idea generation

In every song on the EP that I am working on, there is sea imagery... drowning, waves and water. I decided that I needed this imagery in my design for obvious reasons. I thought it might be a nice idea to do this photographically. 
Lorraine explained about using masks in photoshop rather than the eraser as you can always edit what you have done, it does not lose any of the information. 

I got a photograph of waves off the internet and then applied the mask and a gaussian blur. I then edited the colours to make them less bright. 



I then moved it into illustrator and added a border to the edges to enclose the image. 

I then added texture to the background. I chose an old piece of squared paper. 

Then added a character which I derived from one of the songs...


And added my abstract image. 


Playing around with transparencies and contrasting of the images...


More is to be added and experimented with, but I really like the way it has turned out.
