CD Digipak Ideas

I am now thinking about the photography I am going to do for my CD Digipak. I am going to do this over the christmas holidays and get a variety of different photography of different things. For example, either photography of cast members in costume etc, or maybe abstract images which are not even relevant toward the band or the song. I also have photoshop on my own laptop at home, so I will be able to create the cover for the CD Digipak at home during the two week break.

However, I have already created abstract images which I could possibly use. I filmed a fireworks display this year, and used a variety of video filters on final cut to achieve an abstract colourful effect with the footage. I then took screenshots of various sections I think work best, and I am considering using the best one(s) for my CD Digipak, rather than using photographs of my cast members. The reason for this is because I think it will be more original, and it will also represent the style of the band well, as they are rock/alternative rock, and they already use bright colours to advertise themselves on their album covers etc. Below are the variety of shots I have created for my Digipak.





I am not sure however where I could use these images on my Digipak, whether it is the front, back or inside cover. I will test them out in various positions on the template and decide from that which looks best. In the meantime, I will do more photography of cast members and other things which I could use for my Digipak. 

After having collected these images, I have edited a few slightly in photo shop. I have edited my favourite ones, and I will now choose out of these nine images below as to which I want to use in my Digipak.
