Smoke background for the digipak

My main idea for the digipak artwork is to create a neon smoked effect with the artist featuring in the center. The first step to creating the cover artwork was to create the smoke effect. In photoshop, I drew up a grey squiggle in various thicknesses in a grey colour.  Then the dodge and burn tools were used on various spots across the squiggle leaving behind the light and dark dotty effect.

The Gaussian blur layer effect  was then put over the squiggle layer to create the smoke effect. As the digipak colour scheme has to reflect the genre of the track (disco) The smoke effect was then changed to neon blue and spread as a backdrop across the width of the digipak to create a background for the photo shoot pictures to be edited and layered on top of.
