Unused photos

These photos that i have uploaded are rejected photos that we considered using as possible advert/ digipak photos. 


With this first photo, we decided against using it because the image as wasn't the correct size, it was too big length wise even after editing it on photoshop so that it would be an appropriate size for a professionally edited digipak. Also this photo was edited too dark and i was unable revert the image back to the original one. 







With this image i played around with the effects quite a lot. I thought that in order for her to be centre of attention then a good way of emphasising this was to blur the background out and as a result didn't look as good as i wanted it to be, also because the tutu she wears is very feminine so would be a suitable costume for her to wear. I also wanted to add a personal touch to it by adding the same font as we used for the front and back cover to make it all match professionally with part of the colour theme of pink. 

 

This was our original front cover. 

We thought by making the photo black and white and her in colour it would be a decent way of challenging the typical pop convention. However after careful thought we decided against this as it looked almost too fake and unrealistic that we just weren't happy with it. Also it was fairly difficult to make our particular font that we wanted, show up well in front of the black and white background, so we were having trouble with that too and had to make sure that we had to have an 'inner glow' a 'drop shadow' and an 'outer glow' to make sure that it stood as much as we could make it. Here is a print screen of how i had to make the text in the layer on photoshop as bold as i could. 

This photo we considered using but by using this we thought that we would have used outdoor scenery of trees etc a little too much as we have used both photos of our artist and of just the scenery so to have the majority of inlays as scenery wouldn't be appealing to the 
buyer of the album. 

This photo that we also took onset was unsuitable as a digipak photo as the artists was a bit off guard when we actually took the photo so her mouth appears to be open and her eyes shut. However the angling of the camera makes the shot look nice,not only because of the angle but because of the fact she is on the far right which looks appropriate because of the rule of thirds, she is not directly in centre but she is important enough in the shot to actually acknowledge. 




                                                                                             This last photo is very nice as we very much liked how the trees all caved in together- this photo is very clever indeed however the lighting wasn't very good as it was too bright and however much we edited it and tried to tone it down by hue, saturation, curves etc it just didn't work so we had to make so with this end result on the editing. It doesn't look totally awful but the use of the pinks yet again would be overusing the pinks and purples as much as they look good in the edited photo.
