Star Images

Star images are used for helping to promote an album, CD or digipack. It helps the cover look much more aesthetically pleasing, and also shows you who the artist is.

The star image is sometimes used as the front cover of the digipack, but if this is done, it must be the best picture out of the whole reel of shots taken.
The photograph must also link in somehow with either the album name or the song name.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Mika's album is called - Life in Cartoon Motion.
If you look at the cover of the album, the artwork has all been done in a cartoon style and the colours and style definately all link in together. There is also a smaller picture of the artist on the cover too.



Rihanna's album is called 'Rated R' which actually already links in with her name as they both begin with the same letter. The album is a darker style of music in comparison to her previous albums, so in order to shed light on this, the cover photograph and the complete digipack style has been altered to fit this new style of the artist.


In conclusion, I think that our photographs must link in with our music video, which I think will eventually include a collage almost of photographs of all of the people in our music video, but also use a photograph of the original artist, The Black Eyed Peas, in order to credit them for the song, due to copyrights.
