Photo editing research


The use of Sepia - The cover of 'One Day' has been edited with blue/sepia tones, I feel that these make it look very classic and eye catching, however the colour blue could also have negative connotations which suggest that the relationship between the couple on the front is flawed or that something goes wrong within the film. I believe that this would be a suitable edit for my digipak photos because it would be appealing to audiences and would also connote some of the issues Jono covers in the songs on the album. I need to edit the images to look appealing and eye catching, however I also need to ensure that they look natural as this is a key convention of indie/alt rock products. Two albums which have been particularly inspiring for me are Jake Bugg's and Tom Odell's debut albums. The covers of both of there both focus on the artist, showing them with serious facial expressions and casual clothes on. They seem to be standing in the street and the background is slightly blurred. Although I plan on using a map and polariod photos for my digipak, rather than one large image of Jono; I am going to use a large polariod image of him for the cover of the digipak and some will also be positioned on the inside of the digipak, therefore I am going to use Jake Bugg and Tom Odell's covers as inspiration when I take photos of Jonny for these polariods. When I come to edit my photos of Jonny, I plan on experimenting with black and white and the ways in which colour can be edited using photoshop.
