Photography is an important element when using star image in advertising. The image is what first attracts the viewer and it is also the last thing the viewer usually remembers after turning the page. Advertising images may be used on billboards and in magazines, as well as on posters and flyers. They are also effectively used on the front of digipaks, as demonstrated in the examples below.
Some of these appear more straightforward depictions of the artists, while others have more dramatic effects and enhancements incorporated. Looking at these covers of soul music albums, I am able to see that I must include the face of my artist on the front cover of my digipak, in order to conform to the genre expectation. Applying a filter also seems to be a common trait, so when I use Photoshop I will need to experiment with this. As three out of the five covers shown above have very close up photos of the artist's faces, I will consider taking photos from different angles of my artist, which are close up and clearly show her face.
