The colour might be too burned out but it has potential. The text should probably go along with the same look/feel as the rest of the cover...meaning grunge/dirty. Hope that helps & congrats on getting your first commissioned design (sort of commissioned anyway) .

Thanx alot. THe text was really hard for me to do i wanted to overlay it to but couldnt figure out a good way to do it to match the rest of the cd cover. So i just thought id keep its white cuz the only way to overlay you wouldn tbe able to read it.

Thanx alot though :)

Congrats on you're first! Like others, I'm not liking the text . . . the top might pass but change up the bottom title and make it a lil' smaller.

Watch out designing in RGB, your gonna loose alot of those saturated reds and yellows in the foreheads if they're getting out of CMYK gamut. Flatten in PS and convert to CMYK and see if your color suffers. You don't want to learn the hard way, you'll wonder why it printed "muddy or desaturated"

Very good point boss.

Another solution is to do your design in RGB but view it as it would appear in CMYK format. Go to "View" & make certain your "Proof Setup" has "Working CMYK" checked & then go back under the "View" tab & select "Proof Colors".

If you "Must" (sigh) work in RGB (I wouldn't recommend it).
Like Essqubed said,
A quick key to keep handy is:

"Ctrl+Y" (PC)
-or-
"Comand+Y" (Mac).

This will allow you to preview CMYK while designing in RGB and back and forth. Watch your colors when you "Ctrl+Y" to CMYK Preview. Your monitor is not fooling you, process printers us CMYK, what you see is what you'll get.

NOTE: you'll know you're in CMYK Preview mode because behind the file name and % of zoom on the image window, there will be a (RGB / CMYK) in stead of the normal view (RGB)
