digi-pack and advert

DIGI-PACK TEMPLATE




The digi-pack had 4 panels, just as we had found in our research. The front panel links to our advert, and matches the rest of the digi-packs aesthetic, whilst the rest is strongly genre orientated.




DISK




The Disk will appear to slot into a person�s hand when it is placed on top of the image shown in the Digi-pack template.

ADVERT




Our research showed us that we should link our advert to the Digi-pack front cover, so we did, whilst making it eye-catching and individual to attract an audience.

Further designs

We have decided on our Digipack and advert designs after much deliberation. The final draft has two less panels than our original, and the pictures have been changed considerably, but our Ideas have developed from those shown before, and will now be produced on Photoshop.

The front cover will now be a collage of various different eyes hands and other body parts, with the double faced head (that appeared in the original designs) in front of it. We will also be using the text that we decided on earlier in our project for the band name.

I was able to convince the group to change our album name as well. I believed that it should like to our design more, as well as be ambiguously intimate as is the convention for our genre. The album is now called ‘Colourless faces’.

The inside pains will now be a hand holding a band photo, and a hand holding our CD. This is again ambiguously intimate, and links to our cover.


The back now links more to the front cover than before, because it now includes the double faced head from the front cover, but inverted.


The advert has also changed. We continued to have the same design for the front cover of our album, and our advert, as our genre conventions dictate, but we altered it slightly. The advert is now a large version of the collage we used for the album cover, with an opaque sunset overlaying it.

Today we have began our first steps to producing our rough designs on Photoshop. I have begun work on the album’s spine, back cover, disk, and publishing logo. Katie and Laura have started audience research on what we should use as and album name.
