Digipak Back Cover Ideas

This image was one of our main ideas for the back cover of our digipak and we felt that it worked well in terms of one band member isolated from the other to relate to the music video of the young characters suffering. We felt that the text worked well to some extent but then after some consideration we felt that the text did not relate to the music video very well and there was no aspects of urban and run down and a poverty stricken environment to both the text and the image.

I felt that this text suited and related to the genre of our music video and that the style of text connotes the urban location of our music video. Although once we put some thought into using this text we found that it was too plain and simple and did not fit into the our music video. We tried to tweak the text using tools on Photopshop such as drop shadow and colour overly to match the text with the run down element of our video. Overall we felt that this text did not appeal to us for our back cover as it would not work with the rest of the image.

I felt that this image did not in combination with the rest of the digipak give it a clear brand identity and that the image itself lacked the band members and also lacked a little creativity. Although I did feel it worked well in terms of the characters passion  clearly shown and the audience could interpret this as to his passion to do well and become something in life. 

This image was taken nearby to a location in which we shot our music video and this was just a rough idea but we felt that it worked well in terms of the characters emotion is clearly emphasised and that he is sad. Also the location works well and it is a urban area and therefore can relate to our music video well.

I also felt that this image worked well in terms of the lighting and that the character is clearly standing out in this image and portrays his passion to do well and overcome his problems that he faces in life. I also felt this worked well in terms of the angle and that its a low angle shot and therefore showing that this character has a high amount of power.

I felt that this image did not work very well although it was just a rough idea the image is too dark and the artist in the image is not shown clearly. Although I felt this image worked well in terms of the idea behind it and that the character is looking at the sunset and reflecting on his day.

The idea behind this image is that the artist is looking down and feeling sorry for himself and in the background is the world that he is living in and that no one is there to help him. I felt this image worked well in terms of the idea behind it but it may of looked better if the character was looking up and if the image was brighter.

This image is our final image that we chose for our back cover and we felt that it portrayed the artists emotion and suffering well and that he reflecting about his life and looking out towards the distance and in a sense searching for help. I felt this image worked well in terms of the location and the over the shoulder shot and also the lighting of the image.
