Posters - Vic

I am finding it difficult to find inspiration for my poster so I reaserched several on the internet.

Here are several examples of other band posters.

 


















 
 I am unsure whether to use a photo of all thee girls in the band like the 2nd image above, or a single image of the lead singer like the images of courtney Love and Taylor momsen above.

I am completely sure that i am not going to use a drawn image as it wouldnt fit with my digipak theme.

More editing - Vic

Here is another photo that I have edited, I really do like the way that I have made her hair fire red and also given it a glossy texture. My only concern is that I have cut it from the original background and im not sure how it will look when put onto another background on the Digipak.


Analysis of Photoshoot - Vic

I have used the programme prezi to analysis our photo shoot. I have included the best photos and stated why they look good and why they work, I have also included other photos stating why they do not work.

Before and After - Vic

I have used the programme Image Loop to create a slideshow of the original photos that were taken at the photo shoot and the edited version. These are just several of them; I still need to edit some photos of daisy (Fleur).



I have used the 'old film' effect on Image Loop, I choose this effect because it is the same effect that we used on our music video that we created. I have also chosen a red background which fits in with our blog colour scheme, and also cannotes sexuality and danger which fits in with the identitys that we have created for our band members.

Why I didnt upload my full Digipac - Vic

I havent had a chance to upload my final version of the digipac because my photos were on the school computer and I wasnt at school Thursday because the buses stopped running to Lutterworth so I couldnt get in or home and on Friday I only had one lesson and my teacher couldnt get in to school so I wasnt in Friday. I have already uploaded some of my edited Photos that I have done I just need to add more too them.

Example Digi-Packs- Jack

Here is the cover for Rihanna's new album LOUD. This is one of my favorite covers i think the colour of her hair and lips just make it pop. I also think that the fact she has her eyes shut quite quirky as the cover normally relies on the artists eyes to lure the audience in.  
They have chosen very subtle lettering which i like because it keeps the photo the main focus. They have also included the label title which is quite a focal point due to the colous      they have chosen.



Here is one of the many pictures inside of Rihanna's album. Its one of the more controversial pictures as she isnt wearing anything other than flowers and fur. i like the element of rebellion in this picture and think that this sort of thing would fit i was making a real digi pack for the characters we have made up, but as not all the girls are over 18 and its a school project i think it would seem slightly innapropriate. But i do think that a digi pack needs an element of surprise and edge about it. 
This is another picture which i think is nice in the digi pack. I think its good because its suits the writing in the background. Of course its far too feminine for what we are looking for but its worth taking into account because the pages dedicated solely to writing are good. The white fluid lettering looks nice and is quite dramatic, i look at the page and want to read it.
yet another nice picture, the floaty dress and the red hair are contrasting to the forest around them her position where she is looking away from the camera. the conventions of the picture doesn't  necessarily draw the audience in but the way she is holding the dress and how her arms introduce the picture (almost makes u pan up to her head) make it interesting.
Here is another picture that is slightly more provocative, i think that the tattoo looks really good in this. I think  the position is far too animalistic for something that we are trying to acheive but i think it has been well stylised for Rihanna's music.

This is one of my favourite pictures in the digi pack because it has depth and a nice effect on it. The feathering has made the photograph look a little blurry. and with the lettering that just blends into the background adds a really nice effect. I would like to take this idea and adding subtle tilted writing.
