1&2 Skillet album art

Throughout most of this bands album covers they are very minimalist, they don't have much in yet they project something which is hard to explain.
Some are more in your face than others and some can create a sense of tension in it.


If i were to try and replicate either of these images i could try and do it without using photoshop but the whole point of this assignment was to use photoshop throughout.
 The bottom image would be easier to do in the studio, that way i will have a white background and nothing that will look out of place, i could also get a good professional image out of it.
 The top image is rather minimalist, i really like the image, it's not like i know what the image is about but i feel that it can be perceived differently by other people.
 i think that the image can be done by forced perspective, if the person is far away then it could like they are smaller than they actually are, the room would need to be rather big to get the desired effect necessary.


This is a possible picture that i could try and replicate.
