Digipack Draft 1
After our successful shoot last week we took are favourite shots and started to put together draft 1 of are digipak. We are happy with what progress we have made and know where improvements can made. We managed to stick to the original plan we set out to do. We did this by looking at our draft that we drew up. We decided to go for the second choice for the inside left cover as we felt like it suited genre and general vibes of the digipak as a whole.

Draft 1 Self assessment
Once completing the first draft of the digipak. We had to self assesses are work by following a assessment criteria and giving ourself a grade at the end of it. My self assessment is in the slideshow bellow….
Things to improve for the next draft…
- Adjust the position of where the band names is on the front cover.
- Add the bar code and bands copyright info on the back cover.
- Sort out what we are going to do for side panels of the digipak.
- Maybe tweak the inside photos to get a better positioning.
- Slightly angel the back letter to add a less in order and straight effect.
Reflection
I am really happy with what we have done for the first draft of the digipak. I feel like there are improvements to be made but this can be made in drafts two and three. But it has been a good starting progress for what we can work up on and make better. Things that I especially like from it is the band names front/typeface that we have done using the graphics ideas and photoshop. I also really like the simplistic look of the back page and how the only thing on it is the letter which in theory tell a lot to the typical audience member. A third thing that I like about it is the just the layout and how the album is like a story of lots of letters. I didn’t know how good it would look when we planned it and the group took a bit of a risk but feel like it has worked out really well and the hopefully the audience get the same message. All this work helps build the star images brand and works along with the music video and soon the social media page to create a integrated advertising for the band as one big package. I look forward to working on the second and third draft and seeing the finishing product.
