Digipak Josh and Pete

This panel is my least favourite from them all. Admittedly, it was this picture of another one of Pete and Josh i wasn't too keen on. The format is there and this is how i imagined it to look, however, editing this image felt tedious and i was very unmotivated to edit this one. The main reason is because they are far away from each other and because the picture was taken in the studio we filmed our video, the backdrop is just black. I was thinking on cutting the pair out and moving them onto a different canvas but it wouldn't look right. As the picture was so bright i decided to attempt to keep it that bright using cyan and other light blues. However this made Pete's head glow blue. I couldn't make the circle stretch over both faces as it would look too big. Like the front cover, i made Josh's face slightly more tanned than it was just to add a more realistic depiction to his face. The picture lacked everything, editing it was hard as nothing in the picture influenced my ideas. I needed to do something so i added a paper texture, which is somewhat visible, the dark rectangle is part of the effect. It just made the picture look a little better, i later added the mist and changed it to be green. It adds another dimension to the image but i'm still not very pleased with the image on the whole. I did start to edit a microphone to take the place of this panel, however i felt that i needed Josh and Pete on more than one panel as they're the artists. I think that if i was able to go back to the studio, i'd have really thought about this picture and made it work a lot better. Instead of them being located next to the wall, maybe the drum kit or the mixing desk. Even though i'm not impressed with this pnel, i believe it still fit with the digipak as a whole and works. The lighter blue implies the range of shades i've used.
