(Click on the link to see photos).

These are some test shots for my digipak. I don't really like the one's in the underpass of the train but I like the ones in the alleyway and infront of the brickwall. I think the alleyway ones would be great for tracklisting.

My next step is to edit all the best photos and to create a 1st draft of my digipak.

I then need to get opinions on the first draft and plan for a secondary photoshoot.

Production Log

During the holidays I plan to take more photos.

The only day that myself and two other members (to be part of the band) seem to be free is on a friday. The weather seems to be hot and sunny (unusual for Halloween). I plan to take photos in an underpass and an alleyway. I plan for the band members to wear normal tshirt and jeans, as the band are indie electronic rock, so would therefore be very laid-back.

This are my favourite photos from the shoot, edited.

Poster Plan

 I really want a simple poster; as a new band they wouldn't have huge billboard posters, and as a niche genre they wouldn't have as much money as a band/artist in the pop genre.

I am unsure as to whether I want a plain white or black background. The white suggests indie whereas the black suggest rock.

The grey blocks are to show a black and white image of the band. The pink box is where I want the album cover to be. The green box is where I want the information/ date of release.
