Test images for our own digipak and magazine advert

Once we had decided which sketch to use from our inital ideas for artwork, we set out and shot some images. We practised with different angles and different styles so we could see what worked best.
These images were taken around our school grounds. We took these test images on the stairs because it fitted the forms and conventions of the hip-hop research we had concluded. From our research we found that there was a common use of stairs in hip-hop videos and images, therefore we found it appropriate to stick to this idea.

From these test images we will test some effects on Photoshop and decide what image works best and represents the Hip Hop style for out magazine/digipak in the most effective way. We played around with high and low angles and slightly closer shots.

These images of the crosses were taken as test shots in order to see how clearly the cross would be displayed. It shows how we have developed our ideas into physical products as we have clearly played around and tested with potential locations and styles for our images.
