Design Directions: Cd/Album

The Album cover I have decided to redesign is Ellie Goulding - Lights, shown below. As I feel, although it shows the artist it does not really represent the album name and could be more dynamic. I do however like the idea of making her name appear like neon lights and aim to somehow convert this into my own idea.


My first Idea was to simply take pictures of 'lights' :

 I also took a set with a friend of mine as a model, using a slow shutter speed:

My plan is to incorporate 2 of these images and also include text.
