You have a typo in your settings.py

instead of STATICFILES_DIR, add the S

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]

Use below setting

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
]

and move your image files to static folder

Difference between STATIC_ROOT, STATICFILES_DIRS and STATIC_URL can be found here

STATIC_ROOT can't be the same as STATICFILES_DIRS, and it's the place to collect static files for deployment.
