More practice Magazine Ads for the digipak - Safwana

These are some practice posters I have created, they're very simple and look aesthetically pleasing. The reason for this is because our music video, as well as our digipack are also very simple and minimalistic. It only made sense to have this go across all of our products emphasising the relationship between them.

The black ink photography really adds to the look of the poster, as a texture it looks very pleasing to the eye. I decided to create a double exposure effect to add more meaning, first with the use of manikin dolls, which reference the music video where we show two dolls and then one to signify loss.

Then I decided to take an image of the protagonist and the friend and created a double exposure with that. I used nature to show the realism of the music video, and to show nature is one thing that cannot be changed, death is inevitable, it is the cycle of life. Therefore the posters main image would be a double exposure of the two friends with images of nature.

The next few posters show just progress, and positioning of the logo and album name. The album name changed a lot from the first attempt. I played around with the soft light which makes the text enhance the image in the background, this gave it a really textured feel. 

Then I felt the colours were a little bland, so I enhanced the black and white using the levels on photoshop, and enhancing the black in the ink. However the cover still looked dull, so I experimented with different colours, however this did not go with the style of genre, and music video.

Finally I felt that the protagonist did not stand out enough, as the double exposure effect removes anything below a white background and enhances anything against a black, thus I rubbed off the ink where the face would be with the feathered rubber so it was no too sharp and then I achieved a more visible double exposure effect.
