So you're saying the hand should be grabbing or holding an album or something? I'll see what I can do, but I think I'll have to increase the banner size some.

Here's an updated version of the first banner. Increased the DR.com logo, placed "2008" next to "Album of the Year", moved "Entertainment" and "Gender" over to the right, and upped the contrast of the album image. Also removed purple blood behind the DR.com image, because it just overpowers the rest of the banner, and added some concrete brush strokes between the DR.com logo and the Entertainment logo. Finally I cropped the banner a little.

Deathrock is too white compared to the letters of entertainment, also left ear is missing, when you cropped.
I'd either whiten the lettering of the band, or equalize the text as a layer.

For the gramophone, you can invert a black and white picture of the needle arm, to blend with the xray arm, so both of them look xrayed and you can put the mist over to blend with the shading of the album cover, not to be too sharp, or just noise.

The hand should be placing the arm of the phonograph down onto the record, something like this but from the side instead of from above looking down:

Image

This is very close to the right shot of the record player, but would need additional space on the right side of the frame to accomodate the hand:

The skeleton hand and the record player/tone arm should both be either monochromatic green or blue.

Fixed banner.

I can see where you're going with this idea Jess. I am trying to figure out where the logos would go--I'd like to have the Entertainment logo on the record itself but I don't see that happening with the images I have available. I'm thinking I can put the logos off center, probably in upper left corner of the corbis image.

The "Deathrock.com 2008 Album of the Year" would go in the upper right of the image, and Gender by Entertainment would be centered on the bottom 1/2 to 1/3 of the image.

edit: This is completely crappy, but since I don't have photoshop it's the best I could throw together without taking all day:

Image

You're going to have to play with correct sizing, position, cropping, layering, fonts, etc.

Corbis images are copyrighted, so to avoid motions, and time loss; I'd opt for a free image.

Alright, we'll respect copyright.

Help me find an image to work with, and I'll see what I can whip up.

The corbis image is nice, but it's not wide enough for a decent banner either.

This is a free stock one (xl sized)

Maybe this one but it is from the side:

or:

If you think any suit the need, I'll hang the big ones.
Ideal would be to take a picture of yourself with the record player in a position you want and remove your arm in ps, or wear gloves of vivid color for easy removal.

This one is very good, however it could be wider with the frame extended out on the right side to better accomodate the x-ray hand:

Image

This one has the wider frame amd you could probably crop off part of the bottom and right side of the frame for a better composition with the hand:

Image

This image is pretty cool - the hand wouldn't fit into the frame but you could replace the writing on the cartridge with the name of the band and the song:
