Digipak Experimentation

This is an experimentation image that I created in order to test different styles and themes for the creation of a digipak image/cover. I was meant to use a tutorial to achieve this effect however I already have a knowledge of Photoshop and the tools that are available for the user to use so I felt confident enough to deviate from the tutorial and use my own ideas and experimentation.  I used various efects whilst creating my image but the one that I used was masking. This allowed me to remove the background of my photo without permanently deleting so I could adjust it if I made mistakes. I also used various layer effects such as the overlay and soft light feature which allowed me cover any background items and text with my grungy effect.

PhotoShop Design Test (Joe Tindale)

This is an image I created for my personal Soundcloud account by using one of the Photoshop tutorials posted on this blog. I think that it has a good final effect however the theme doesn't exactly fits with our genre of music.

Logo Design

The following images are the production logo ideas that were created for our record label. For our record label we have decided upon using our initials therefore we have decided on the name NHJT, this is because it tends to be a common trend for smaller artistic companies such as photography companies and film producers.

The first image shown was created by Nathan Hunter. It shows guitars which are a widely common convention within rock and metal genres of music and it contains colours such as red and black which can also be linked with rock and heavier genres of music. The contrasting colours are used within the image to give the text and the images a better sense of alignment and order as the position and colour of the text match with the colour of the guitar image.

The second image shown was created by me. I tried to keep with the second images theme of contrasting colours and  only used colours such as black and white because it is uncommon to find a rock album/record label logo which contain brighter, more vibrant colours. I also kept the image theme simple by only using text on a plain background and the end result is something that would more commonly be shown as a photography or a more artistic company logo.
