Ancillary task planning.

I have planned both Ancillary tasks, in the same fashion:
First, I made a mindmap of what function each needed to fulfill, and how I wished to do this. 
Then I drew some concept art of how I wished it to look.

CD album cover:
I decided that all the functions of a normal CD cover will be fulfilled- it will promote the band (through social media and links), whilst creating an adequate, well-designed space to hold a CD.
However, rather than having pictures of the band, I decided to keep continuity across this, the other ancillary task and the video. Because of this, I decided to use artwork rather than directly promoting the band. Specifically, I am going to have a parallel across the front and back. The front will depict Megan in front of the fairy lights and the photographs on the wall. This will be soft in colour, pale and warm. On the back, there will be a mirror image of Charlotte burning the pictures in a fire, which she is stood in front of. 
In the middle will be one long photograph, that covers panel 2 and 3. It will be of a collage of the photos (of the couple laughing and smiling).

The front will have the album title and band name. It will have the social media at the bottom. 
The back will have a list of the songs on the album.

Here is a concept image of what I want it to look like:

Poster:
My poster will replicate all the important functions of a normal poster (album title, band, social media).
It will tie in well with the CD cover and the video. To do this, it will also be artwork, rather than pictures of the band. 
Specifically, the image will be similar to that of the CD covers front. It will depict Megan standing in front of the wall of photos, with the fairy lights. However, rather than showing their happy moments, the photos will be of the fire. Each photo is a unique viewpoint of the fire and will show a clear juxtaposition. 
This will show the parallel between the girl's views on the relationship.
Here is some concept art I drew to enhance my idea:
