Today I picked the photo I will use for my front cover of the album, taking into consideration the audiences feedback.
I chose this the feedback shows these close ups are engaging due to the direct mode of address, the half face was inspired by my case study Rae Sremmurd for their album Sremmurd life. This also fits to the conventions of rap as he is wearing diamond earrings showing wealth. He is wearing a black hat and du-rag as well as a black bomber jacket the colour black makes it easy to decide what colour scheme I want as black goes with a lot of colours.
This is the original picture, using a app on my phone called Light room cc I started to edit the picture. I aim was to:
-Make the artist skin tone even
-Mae his eye white
- Make the back drop white/ Grey to see which suited better
Here I changed the exposure to negative to make it darker as well as the contrast and highlight. I didn't add any undertone colours as I wanted it to look monotone.
This is the draft of using the editing app:
After getting this, I still wanted to play around I wanted his face to e more bright to attract the audience more whilst keeping the background dark.
Here I did the opposite, increasing exposure and moving the highlights further along. I also added a tint of colour in attempts to make the star more golden as the connotations of it that I spoke about in my case studies.
This is my second draft of the same image using Lightroom cc:
After saving both versions I showed
