I had various ideas for the images I was going to select for my digipak. Having planned to film cars on the motorway from a bridge as part of my music video, I decided I wanted a picture of this from the car's point of view on my digipak. The photograph I selected in the end depicts twilight from a car on the motorway. I like this as it links my main product to my ancillary texts, creating a sense of house style.
I also decided to use photographs I took while filming for my music video of my artist/the characters in the video for my digipak. In keeping with the indie genre, I decided I wanted the image of my artist to be quite obscure and not disclose too much, giving anonymity to my artist. I shot images which slightly obscured the artist's face, while providing some identity. In the end I decided to use an image which created a slight silhouette. It makes the artist recognisable and distinct but the subtly it very effective. The image has the sun behind my artist's head, which links to shots in my music video, also in keeping with the band's house style.
Once I had selected my chosen image, I edited it. I used a Adobe Photoshop to increase the brightness of the image and added subtle pink tones, in order to get it to match the other existing images on my digipak.
