To take the photographs for the album cover i had to do a lot of prep work. First from a local shop i bought several glow sticks for the cover of my digi pack. My orginal plan was to cut the glow sticks to write the words through lines like match sticks. However, what i didnt realised was when i cut the sticks the colour leaks out and turns to liquid. This is shown in the photo to the left.
Although there was a set back i really liked the idea. This was because the band/name would be "lost in the lights". So through lots of tape and an extras pair of hands i stuck the glow sticks in the shape of the words shown left. However, this proved difficult as the letters were difficlut to construct. so with letters such the S and the L i joined them together (yellow letters). Plus, with words such as in and the, the glow sticks were not malable to create them. although through the disaster of the liquid drama, i found that i could write with the liquid which i did and worked well. The G i wrote in the orange colour but i was not as clear and harder to write with so i used the blue over the top. The last letter S was not clear as i could not write on the tape. However, i used photoshop to change this.
Also, before i started this i played with different persitions with thew glow sticks for the cd cover design and different parts of the cover. I wanted to get a shot taken from the below angle so to do this i attached them to the light to create these photos.
