Digipack Draft 1:

This is the first draft of our front and back panes/ covers for our digipack…

Self Assessment (marking):

Our self-assessment is based on; how well we used the camera to take images, what we were able to edit/ manipulate in photoshop,  if we used appropriate images and typefaces, and finally what mise-en-scene we used. We need to do all these things to assure the meaning we want to communicate, is conveyed.

I think that the first draft is just that, a first draft… It is missing some key elements but it has the layout we wanted. We have mapped out most of the placements. For the barcode, copyright information, and record label logo, we have discussed where these could go. We have a good idea of what we want to achieve.  We also haven’t chosen the colours and typefaces yet. We need to finalise what song titles we want, from our list of ideas. I like the overall aesthetic of the covers, and I think they fit the genre (it includes the typical technical features).

Targets for improvement:

• Add the key conventions necessary for a digipak,
• Add something more quirky, like some cartoon hearts or speech bubbles (similar to how we added cartoon-like things to our music video),
• Change the text typefaces to be more aesthetic and fit our theme/ genre,
• Include a range of shot types in the images,
• Add something to the background or the filmstrips to make it less plain,
• Colour correct the images (and give them the same lighting or theme),
• Fill in the rest of the song titles,
