Ideas for Album cover Art

Because the song which I have made a music video for is a remix of a classical Beethoven song 'Moonlight Sonata' the mixture of the urban and the classic music will be coming together in some form to create the cover art for my Gate fold Vinyl album.
I would like the convergence between the two to be simple and effective, I don't want a messy or extravagant image that would distract the consumers. By having a simple and low maintenance cover art it will represent the album which I am distributing.
The remix which I have made the music video for will be included on the album and it will be used to represent the other songs included on the album (max. 12) these remixes won't be too loud or extreme but a simple way of bringing classical music throughout history into the 21st century and giving them an urban style.
The first Idea I have for the album cover art is to have a simple black or white background with a person (male or female) stood in front of it, only their legs will be shown in the frame and the outfit I will be looking for is, on the front cover, a pair of worn out joggers or tracksuit bottoms with posh shoes and then on the reverse side a posh dress or suit with trainers. This idea was formed because it is a perfect example of the convergence of the urban and the classical (which is usually associated with the posh or upper class who are renowned for their posh outfits)
