Digipak draft 2

 Here is a draft 2 of our Digipak. We have used a neutral color palette to allow the roast chicken and our star image to be a main feature and draw in the target audience.  We have also used a large font to show off the title of the album in a font that flows well and goes with the genre of Indie Rock.  Before placing our photos onto Indesign we manipulated these on photoshop as we wanted to sharpen certain elements, such as on the front cover, we gave the chicken more of a golden glow and slightly adjusted the candles color.  We also color correct parts to fit with our genre correctly and allow the front and back cover to be bright and make the colors pop. For the middle photo and CD photo we gave these a warm tone and added some graphics and illustrations to add detail and depth.

Below is a screencastify done by our teacher on parts of our digipak we can improve to allow make it more conventional and suit our genre.

Things to improve:

  • Front cover needs to have more of the tabel in it to show off the bottles and allow Lukash to sit further at the top.
  • Sunday roast (all the trimmings) as a track on the back cover.
  • On the back cover the red wine needs to be made to a darker blood red to allow it to standout. 
  • Where the CD sits there needs to be more of the chicken within the photo – reposition photo. 
  • Sharpen trinkets to allow them to shine.
  • Add more shine to goblet.

 

Digipak draft 1

When self assessing work its vital that we look into detail at conventional features that are missing and what we can do to improve the overall image of our star. Although our digipak is conventional to our genre there are still things we can change to improve the over all colour scheme of the digipak and adjust different positions of things to allow the star to stand out.

Targets for improvement:

  • Straighten the candle stick.
  • Adjust the colour of the front cover to match with the colour of the back cover.
  • Make the red of the wine into a deeper red and match this with the side panels of the back cover.
  • Re position the front cover photo so more of the table is visible.
