For this tutorial we got taught how to work on Photoshop to create the front and back of our digipack, doing this our group was able to experiment with effects and colours and see what would be successful for our genre of music. We used a black background as it instantly gives it a rock/ heavy metal look as it is a colour which is stereotypically associated with this genre. The black also gives it a negative look this is effective as negative emotions are usually the main focus of rock/ heavy metal genre. The writing is whit so it is bold and stands out against the black, this is also good as when people are looking for it in the shops it is easy to see and stands out well and we chose the specific font because it is bold and interesting. The photos of the people were successful. Even though we didn't have costumes and props we used the chance of taking the photos of trying out different camera angles and poses which would make them look stern and serious as rock/ heavy metal is quite negative and also to make it represent the genre which is really shown in Daryl’s pose as the hand sign is used often within the rock/ heavy metal genre. We used thus specific filter on top of the photo to give it a surreal effect as a lot of rock/ heavy metal muic videos portray the sense of the unknown or really unusual imagery. This is created in our photot as they are unclear as their faces are quite blurred/ distorted and look unusual. Below is a video that I took of a member of our group taking the photos.
