Colour Swatching for my Digpak

The following images were generated by the site 'Pictalous'

- This site (Pictalous) takes the most important colour swatches from the images and generates a set of colours for me to play around with
-Therefore, when I take my own images and produce my own product, I can use this site to colour swatch and thus will be easier to edit and keep to the conventions of the front of my Digipak.
- I will use these Google images (some by artists) to create Google mock-ups of my Digipak final product before I go out and take my own photos and still images.

1st Colour Generated Image:        
                    

This is the suggested colour swatch the website suggested for this photo. I like these earthy, elemental colours as they are quite simple and not too in-your-face.




2nd Colour Generated Image:

Both this and the 1st image were created by Underwater Photographer 'Elena Kalis'. It creates a hyper-real fantastical reality within a photo. The reference in this second photo has the intertextual reference of Alice in Wonderland. I love how it is portrayed within water and the entrapment of her falling down the tree is captured in a still, almost like it would have been in slow-motion if it were out of the water.

These are brighter that the first photo and focus more around the water aspects within the image. I think these colours have calming qualities.





3rd Colour Generated Image:

I like the colour scheme within this photo because it is minimal and more neutral than the blues and greens found in the above and below photographs. The yellow and brown tinges make this photo unusual and mysterious. The suggestion of water within an inanimate object (such as the light bulb) creates a distinct allusion for the viewer. It is completely abstract and therefore up to interpretation for the viewer as to what it is about. This is the kind of thing I wish to create within my magazine advert and Digipak  for my Music Video. The image of something, but the suggestion can be interpreted in lots of different ways.

These are very minimilstic colours which I think I would more likely use for my end product for my Digipak. Therefore, it would keep with the conventions of my music video (the visuals not being too colourful)



4th Colour Generated Image:

I adore the light and dark contrast in this photo and the lighting almost reflects as if it were a religious connotation. It also reminds me of Bill Viola's Ascension in which I'd previously researched. However, this would be extremely difficult to re-create, so for my original images, I could maybe incorporate the light and dark aspects and maybe the light shining (showing her the way). The water makes everything in this shot beautiful, from her dress to her hair, everything looks perfectly poised, like the photographer has done touch-ups for the shoot. However, it is the water that has created this effect and therefore, nature has manipulated this beauty captured.

The dark aspects of this palette are very mysterious and alluring. They are not too over the top but follow the same theme of darker shades. The contrast between the more 'white' colour against the dark really stands out.
