Digipack Images

Here are some images Sean has designed himself for our digipacks. These designs would be placed on pages in which information such as song titles, band members, etc is shown. The pictures below have been edited using Photoshop and orignally come from either stills taken from the actual video or have in fact come from pictures which were taken from Katie's new camera on the day of filming. In terms of what the actual pictures show and the reason we chose to take these pictures is that the majority of them have an association with drug use or will have a direct link to the video. The first image is taken directly from the video and uses a "cut out" effect. Overall I feel as though this image does link towards the video (since it was taken from the video directly) however I feel the effect is fairly lackluster, it's still an interesting image to have and a similar concept may be used for the digipacks. However, as of right now I feel as though the other images are of a higher quality. The second image is of the whole band playing directly from the live performance, this is taken from some of the footage we filmed. I feel as though this one is better than the first image and helps set an effective tone far easier than the first one, although it is quite blurry which does degrade it somewhat, despite this though it does set an effective tone. The third image is an image that was taken on Saturday, it is not taken from footage, this helps simulate the idea of drugs and typical teenage antics (in this case, smoking) using the effect "monochrome" to create a dramatic effect. The final image is another image taken directly from Katie's camera, Sean edited this simply by giving it a very high contrast. The result has made this my favourite out of all the images edited so far, it creates dramatic effect whilst also indicating drugs and the reasonably dark tone. It is possible that this image is too dark (in the sense of the tone) however I think it does reflect the idea of drugs very fluently and effectively. This would fit perfectly in the digipacks as the main part of the image itself covers one side whilst the rest of the image is black, this means we can place text onto the entire half of the image and it won't look crude. I really like how this has ended up as the image was taken in broad daylight at around 2:00pm at a small area aound a bunch of trees.
