Research and Planning - Ideas for CD Cover

For the cover of my cd I am thinking of doing something with light trails. This is done by leaving the shutter on the camera open for a long period of time. the camera needs to be steady so the things that don't move in the frame remain sharp. For example the first photograph was taken on bonfire night at Ashover rock. I used an exposure of around 30 seconds to ensure all of the light could be captured. Any light that is moving create these cool looking light trails but the rock which is stationary appears sharp and still.
 
 
 
 The photo below is something which I would like to replicate for my CD cover.  However I believe that as the song is more urban an urban setting like an underground car park or a dark alley way with some nice brickwork would work really well.  I then don't have to worry about font types and overlaying it over images as the writing is actually part of the image. if I want to change the font colour I will just use another light source. Like using a front bike light which is white whereas the back is red.
