Rejected images for the digipak


I recently took some images to use on the front cover of my digipak. Our initial idea was to have an ordinary image of our artist in the front and a faded image of her screaming behind. I began to edit the above image to put in the background. One of the first things I done was remove the back ground as I was standing against a white door and this did not give the visual effect that we wanted, therefore I thought it would be best to completely remove the background. 

However as I began to put the images together, I very quickly realised that it was not creating the visual effect that I wanted,  As well as this I think the use of the white back ground for the cover of the CD cover is far too plain and boring. As well as this I think it decreases the professional aspect of the cover. 

As well as this, I also received some feedback from a member of my A2 media class who is not in my working group and they gave me some constructive feedback that the image was not visually interesting and looked very basic, in comparison to what could be achieved. 

As a result of this I realised that it was very important for me to take new images to use of the front cover of my digipak and therefore done this as soon as possible. 

I am pleased that I tested out this idea as it made me aware that it did not create the visual effect that I wanted and was not going to appeal to my target audience. I realised that a far less complex image is often required on the front of a CD cover in order for it to look as professional as possible.
