Draft 3
Tally Feedback
Reflection
After completing out draft 3 Digipak, we printed it off and put it into a CD case to help us get a better feel for how it will look. Looking at this made us realize what we needed to add to the spines and any gaps there are that we need to fill. We then asked other people to guess the genre of it. This was to help us see how well we followed the conventions of our genre. As you can see we did very well at sticking to the correct features for out genre and our genre is Pop and that has significantly the most votes.

Graphics
Original Image
Edited Image
Reflection
We had a go at changing this image of the artists lips by editing saturation levels and different colours. The reason we chose these colour is because they fit well with the front and back covers. They are also vibrant which is conventional to the pop genre.
