Album Artwork Research

Gliss- Devotion Implosion


The effect of using an image that is highly over exposed using the effect of an abstract close up or image, usually with a sepia/black and white or film grain effect is used widely within the indie genre specifically. The effect creates a vintage, old fashioned feel, reminiscent of negatives from film reels, an effect which we hope to create in our own video, therefore I am going to experiment with creating this style of photo. I have looked up techniques to create film effects in photoshop, I found this website particularly useful and cohesive- http://www.ehow.com/list_6438157_film-effects-photoshop.html

Voxtrot- Raised by Wolves



Washed Out- Feel it all Around



These images all try and portray an image relevant to the Auteur Theory (Not being influenced by the 'mainstream hype' with individual ideas determined by their creativity alone) but as this style of photograph and the 'Indie/Hipster' scene has grown in popularity, in actual fact with this growing niche becoming more and more mainstreamed into the popular culture cohering to Adorno's theory of popular media and music products being characterised by standardisation (they are basically formulaic and similar) and pseudo-indivitulisation (incidental difference make them seem distinctive, but they're not.)
