Digipak Draft 3

Below is the third draft for our Digipak.

 

What has Changed?

  • As planned we have changed the colour and font of the masthead and name of the Star Image. We have decided in purple as it is a very popular color in the genre of EDM, fitting with the conventions.
  • We decided on this font as it felt the most hand-written whilst still being easily read.
  • We have made the decision not to place the text over the bird’s wingspan as this looked poor and have instead elected to have the song list down the side. This is what it looked like previously:
  • We added the barcode, charity message, record label logo and copyright information.
  • We decided to give ‘Introspective’ a special coloured gradient as to show this is our most important song.

 

What’s Next:

  • Still am not entirely happy with the masthead or star image name, more adjustments I feel are required for that.
  • I would like to spread out the barcode, record label logo, copyright information, and charity sticker as I feel it is all too bunched together.

 

Once we had finalized the third draft of our Social Media Page, it then became important to see how it feels when placed within a CD case.

In completing Draft Three it has given us the opportunity to ask others what genre students think our Digipak cover fits into. These were the results:

We have had a very positive result when looking at the votes for what genre our digipak cover fits into, with Trance in the lead and EDM just behind. This shows that we have successfully used the correct conventions for our genre.

 

Reflection:

As we are now on the way to our Final Draft, I am very happy with how the Digipak has turned out and I also feel I have learnt many skills in regards to Photoshop and InDesign, and that our Digipak is very in keeping with the conventions of EDM. With only a few changes to be made, I feel we are very close to our final draft.
