Image manipulation

 !!!The content of the image isn't too important, its the ways it can be manipulated to change the idea it communicates.

I have thought about my website conceptually a lot, but haven't given too much thought to the actual production or visual language. I need to consider how my idea can be transformed from a concept into a physical website, and how my ideas can be communicated through graphic elements.

im going to use some existing photos i have from my film camera and apply different processes to them to see how that can change what they communicate.

in terms of colour choice for the website - i think it needs to be dark to emulate the experience of being in a nightclub. not pitch black, but shadowy. I can also incorporate some bright/neon elements to suggest the lighting often used in clubs

eg

a lot of the experience of the website will be audio so i think the visual elements need to be simple so that it isn't overwhelming. 

idea - light moves around the screen in time with beats/ randomly/ follows mouse cursor.

cropping images from inside nightclubs to focus on the lighting - all from film camera so very grainy, really nice colours - not flat at all

adding blur - problem of pixelation fixed

another idea i cant do right now - paste images up on boards like flyers and then photograph - so will have the texture of the paper and the ripples/bubbles you get with paste ups - will make a mockup 

This ^ as the background of a webpage would look good, with some type and navigation, and light trails from the mouse cursor

perhaps the paper texture overlay isnt even necessarry - the images are good on their own.
