Further Ideas for Digipak - Photos

Below are photos from a new photoshoot, edited with a "black & white" tool (using microsoft word's "format picture" tool). This tool has created a similar effect to shadows, relating them to the shadow puppetry in our music video, yet using the same actor posing as the band member from the real life section of the video.
Here is an example:

The following picture has also been edited with Snapfire (a photo editing program on my laptop) to make the picture browner, and more neutral, to fit in with a colour sceme of woodland (browns). This has been done with the sepia tool and warmth adjustment.

The next photo also has a similar colour set, this time edited in Paint, adding in text with different "fun" and "casual" fonts to suit the name of each song (along with the colouring of the names). This is a possibility for the backcover of the Digipak.

The next picture is another version of the above, however with a lighter and brighter colour (the green background). I made this one to explore the use of colours with the Black & White shadows, to see the effect (like certain album covers, e.g: Paolo Nutini).

This next picture is another possibility for the backcover of the Digipak, with the names of the tracks on the CD. This time the picture is just simple black and white, showing the artist smiling, wearing a generic costume of a chequered shirt and a simple t-shirt underneath. I chose this t-shirt for the actor as i thought when i edited the pictures to Black & White, the t-shirt logo would stand out as it was black on white.

This picture (same photograph as above) is a different approach, as i would like to use this image for the front cover with the artist name instead of the above picture, with the track names for a backcover. I think this picture would be more suited for a front cover as it clearly shows the artists face, and markets the image quite well. Also, the artist has a happy fun expression, drawing the audience to the personality perhaps.

The following 2 photos were experiments, as i'm not sure if i will use photos of a piano/keyboard. I like how the key stand out from the picture, and the last picture is a coloured version of the first. This was to again, explore the coloured possibilities, to make the Digipak cover stand out to the audience more.

As you can see, i have included the actors face in these photos, as the Digipak is created to market the band/artist, which i hope these pictures do. They are mainly mid shots and close up, as this will show the artist, to market him directly to the audience (as does the music video).
