Planning Ancillary Work: Shortlist of photos for digipak

We took photos of our artist in our last media last before we had Christmas break. Before this lesson we briefed panned what our artist was gonna wear and because of this we decided we wanted her to wear a dress so it contrasted with the white wall we were going to use. Also this contrast would make it easier to cut her image out in Photoshop. After taking a multitude of photos I decided two photos that I felt would work to follow conventions.

I decided to pick this photo of her sideways for my front alum cover, as I felt I wanted this from the digipak mock up stages. I took inspiration for this from Elle Varner's album, Perfectly Imperfect where in she also has her arm up with her facing sideways which was one of my initial inspirations for my digipak.

 

I decided to use this photo for my back album cover as I thought it would add another level to my cover. I also took inspiration or this from one of the photos I use for a early lesson task, where we had to create a digipak adding the correct elements of a digipak to our final design. The photo showed a girl hiding behind a wall, and I was going to have our artist do this during the photo shoot but we had a very small amount of space so we couldn't. So I just decided to take a picture of half our artist's face.
