Album advertisement

To design the artwork for the advertisement I used similar images from the digipak artwork, and included information that is generically found in a advertisement. 
 In my first attempt, I tried to keep it simple, but include some aspects from the digipak, so they look related. When researching into digipaks I found this to be a common thing, especially that the logo's that the digipaks use tend to a recurring thing. This was my first draft

I then decided that this may be a bit too simple, and tried a busier effect, shown below. However, after looking at my digipak, and the examples of advertisements that I found, I've decided to use my original poster, I think it is a bolder more effective advertisement, and fits the reoccurring imagery I'm creating.
In the process of making this and the digipak, I have manly been scanning in hand drawn images, and piecing them together like a collage, but using photoshop. I did this because I wanted it to have a organic sketchy look about it, much like the video does. The style in which I've chosen is fairly true to the genre of music I've chosen, for example, the Elliott Smith digipak shown.

If you compare this with your industrial exemplars what's missing??

You still haven't answered this question. You need to give more context to the construction AND to show the stages of production, inc drafts.
