Digipak Draft 3

 

 

 

 

What we changed in this draft:

  • We used a better quality image for the front cover.
  • Added a box round the producer rights to make it clearer.
  • Added more contrast to the inner left page.
  • Added more songs to back cover.

In general we are happy with our changes in our latest draft and we think it fits our RnB genre.

 

We decided to ask our audience what music genre they thought this was linked to, below is the results from our survey.

Digipack Draft 2

We also received feedback from our teacher on screen castify:

 

What we changed:

  • We added the singers name as seemed more conventional for our genre.
  • Added some colour to the books on the inside page of the Digipak.
  • We added the producer rights to the back.
  • Added some darker saturation and darker brightness.
  • Added the spine.

 

Our teachers feedback included:

What went well:

  • Our teacher pointed out about how they like the location.
  • They also mentioned that the contrast fits in well with the genre.
  • The colorful books contrast well with the black and white surrouding them.

What We Will Do:

  • Making the background of the front cover book black and white around our performer.
  • We will add some of the lyrics to the page of the inside cover and lower the trasnparency so it looks distant in the background.
  • Add some more tracks.
  • Add some shadow to the front cover title as it looks a bit flat.

Self Assessment

WWW –

  • I like the contrast of colours I have used on the front cover with the books and on the back with the glass panes.
  • Good photo choices.
  • Fonts work well with position of photo, very clear.

  • Back of digipak is over exposed, change the exposure.

Branding Moodboard

In this task we had to create a mood-board and include items and designs that would work with our digipak, we also looked at different shots that would work t attract the viewer to the front cover and give a rough idea of what the album is about. We looked for different locations and chose the best ones that would work with the idea of our album. We had to familiarize ourselves with some different digipaks from the same genre which gave us an idea of what we wanted ours look like.

Our mission Statement

In order to make our digipak, we had to look at our strategy and mission statement. The purpose of this exercise is to focus on the campaign and branding as this has to feel like part of a unified design.

This includes 4 main parts:

  • Our Audience
  • A call to action
  • Who is our competition
  • Our Unique Selling Point
  • Mission Statement

This helps us create our digipak for a preferred reading from our audience and we can focus directly on their demographics and the conventions that will best fit them.

Music Video Draft 4

What has changed:

  • We have added more punchbag shots
  • Changed certain placements of shots
  • Made more of the narrative black and white
  • Played with the colour of the performance shots

We then had a pair of media students look at our Draft 4

Our peers feedback included:

  • Looking more at the colours and playing with the saturation of shots
  • Look at the van in one of the shots and position the shot better
  • They think the narrative is clear
  • The performer fits the song
  • The lipsyncing is on the beat

Our targets moving forward include:

  • Looking at each shot and the saturation we use and so the performance looks consistent throughout
  • Scale and fit some shots so that there is a better depth of field
  • Look at some effects and if they are needed throughout
