Below is my draft 3 of my digipak. I also decided to take pictures of it in a CD case. I did this so that I could see that I could see what my digipak looked liked as a real album and if it is conventional to other albums of my genre. Using feedback that my teacher gave me from her screencastify I made many changes which make my digipak look much more professional and conventional. For example I changed the fonts I was using throughout my digipak, I made the disco ball look much brighter using photoshop and I tidied up a few mistakes that I had made along the way. Overall I am really happy with how my digipak has turned out but for my final draft I will need to make a few more touch ups, for example I need to work on the lettering further.
Feedback From Peers – What Genre Does It Represent?
To help myself to understand if my digipak aligns with my chosen genre (hip hop) , I wanted to see of my peers around me could decode, the branding, star image and metanarrative and choose my chosen genre. I gave them a piece of paper which had seven different genres on it and asked them to tick which genre they thought suited my digipak.
-
- Pop – /
- Hip Hop – /////////
- Indie Rock –
- Alt Rock –
- Rock –
- EDM –
- Folk –
Receiving feedback from my peers has helped massively because it was clear that most people identified the correct genre. This was extremely helpful because I now know that I am going in the correct genre and with a few more edits I will be done.
