Taking Pictures


A couple of days ago i saw this picture to the left and it gave me another idea for a possible front cover for my digi-pak. Skateboarders are often associated with the genre of pop-punk and other rock based genres, and as our track is along the lines of pop-punk i thought it would fit well if i was able to get some pictures invloving a skateboard in a wayb that would work well as a front cover.

So a couple of days ago, me and my friend Leah went out with a camera and my skateboard to try and get some shots suitable for a CD cover. We started off with trying to re-create the picture above but it didn't have the 'front cover' potential i was looking for, we then saw an empty bottle of smirnoff ice which gave us an idea to create a staged image of someone who had fallen off a skateboard, with the empty bottle alongside to give the impression it was down to the alcohol. The only problem faced with this was to try and make it look like it wasn't staged so much otherwise it would lose effect. This idea seemed like a contender because teenagers are the main audience for pop-punk usually, and alcohol is often greatly associated with teenagers, so to put the three together (including the skateboard) it should create an effective image.
