Introduction

For our draft 3 we included multiple alterations including finally adding text on the front and back cover. We then printed off our draft 3 and assembled the images into a digipak so that we could see how we thought once it became a whole piece. Most importantly though this was our chance to get feedback from our peers and to test to see if our designs really reflect our genre. Here is our draft 3 printed out into a CD:

Here is a survey that my partner carried out amongst our peers. This survey includes the classes opinions about what genre they recon our digipak reminds them the of the most:

Reflection

Although the majority of votes were for trance music this isn’t a bad thing as EDM is so vast so it is very hard to pinpoint specific features towards this genre due to electronic dance music having various subgenres such as techno, drum and bass, house music etc… Therefore due to trance being a sub genre I think we did a good job at trying to imitate similar conventions however due to our messages that we wanted to send through our designs it suits more trippy and down to earth illustrations anyway which is typically seen in trance. Despite this our second most selected genre in this survey was EDM meaning that our efforts have not been a miss. Overall I am really happy and proud of the digipak so far, however I feel that on the back cover all the writing has been grouped too close together and needs more spacing out just to give a more aesthetically pleasing look that has been distributed much more evenly. Not only this but I think that the album title and artists name should have different fonts so that you are able to establish they are two separate titles and not just one big title. Lastly inside the digipak on the left hand side the imagery would also look much better if it was rounded so that the design suits and incorporates the shape for where the CD will be inserted.
