Digipack Draft 3

Here is the third draft of our digipack:

Audience tally:

We sent out a survey to our class asking them what genre they thought our digipack was. This was to make sure we were keeping in our genre and that we were being conventional to our audience.

The last things we have to do for our final draft are:

  • change Eve’s lip colour
  • change the colour of the rectangles on the sunset to match the daisy’s and the green background
  • cut out the daisy on right pane properly – still has black edges
  • change the font for ‘In Bloom’ and track names
  • make daisy’s on right pane more cartoon-like (like flowers on back pane)

Digipack Draft 1

Digipak Draft 001 – ‘In Bloom’ by eve

I thought the first draft of our digipack was really good from the theme of nature all the way through to having our star wearing numeral clothing.

However, there are a few things that we will have to change and shape up to make it more relatable to that subject audience. For example:

  • Take a photo of flowers as home to replace the internet backdrop of flowers
  • Sort out the colour scheme, I feel like the pink doesn’t flow into the brown and green easily, perhaps we could try and match it with the purple colour in the back inside cover photo
  • IN BLOOM needs to be bigger and maybe even overlapping the star or put behind
  • make the faded stars on the back cover bigger

Self assessment:

I would give the first draft of our digipack a D/C. This is because is it very conventional to the genre however not everything is in line and more editing is yet to be done.

I was grading our first draft off:

  • The use of camera and photoshop to take photographs and to enhance images
  • The use of  mise en scene in photos and what it conveys and communicates
  • The use of DPT to intergate images/texts and the use of colour/typefaces

Evaluation of shoot 2

Overall I thought that shoot 2 went well. It wasn’t as sunny as we had hoped, however, we can fix that on photoshop. We wanted to invert the colours and use yellow anyways. The shots we got were good even though halfway through we realised the flash was making the trees go white, so we turned it off.

Evaluation of shoot

Overall, I think that our shoot went really well and Elisha and I were really happy with the results. We managed to achieve the effect that we wanted in Eve’s hair and it looked even better than we imagined. We think we managed to get some shots to use for the front cover and back cover for our digipak. We managed to get lots of mid shots which are the shots conventionally used for our genre as well as covering all bases and getting high angles and lower angles and side profile shots. Our star was smiling the whole time in order to portray the happy nature of our star image and to reflect the music on the digipak.

These are the photos of our star we took. Overall, I think it went well and we were able to take some shots that are definate contenders for our front and back cover of our digipak:

Here are some of the favourite photos we took:
