DigiPak Development

 

I was able to access a DigiPak PDF file that I used in photoshop to ensure that the measuerments were correct.

I started off with the middle cover and cropped a photograph of Aidan to the size of the frame.

To maintain the style throughout both of our DigiPaks, we used a range of squares onto of pictures of on the border to create a minimalist style that brings the style of my digipak and poster together.

For the back cover, I used an out of focus image of New York skyline that focused upon the black gates. I emphasised the colours in the background using the hue/saturation tool on P
Photoshop.
 
Again, I added a square around to create a border, reducing the opacity of the black square to 40%.

A photo of the empire state that I had already edited on afterlight, I added to the city disk as it is a cliché shot of New York and adds some colour to the CD disk.

For the front cover, I decided to use a close up of Aidan, to focus purely on him as the album is his.
I then created a border by adding two layers, one being plain black and the other squares and then merged together and removed the squares to see the image underneath. I decided that the plain black was too prominent and took away from the actual image, so I reduced the opacity down so you could see Aidan underneath slight.

To incorporate the Idea of New York and Newcastle, I used two photographs, one of the buildings in New York and one of the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle and reduced the opacity down over the squares.

I then added the name of the album/artist on to of Aidan in a white bold font as it contrasts the background and the other colours used in the images.
 
The final image of my digi pak.

Development of Music Poster

I decided upon this photograph as it allows me to place writing above Aidan and have the wall as a place for information about the album. I used the font, Caudex, for the name of the artist.

I then used the font Baskerville for the title of the album as it is similar to the name of the artist, but slightly different. I also picked colours for the title from Aidan's clothing.

I decided to change the colour of the font from a darker colour, to a light colour so it stands out from the background. I also added a bordered around using two squares and removing the centre to then reduce to opacity to 40%. This links both Digipak and music poster together.

I then added a rectangle, I also reduced the opacity down to 40%, in which I would add the popular songs from the album on.

I added the names of the tracks, also adding the website so people could go and buy the album.

I then created a record label logo and the hmv logo.

Bloopers

Music Video Progress

We decided to add some more footage of the university to show Aidan studying in Newcastle. So I was able to edit them in and upload the final take.

Responsibilties

As Hannah and I were working as a team when producing this, we were able to split the filming and editing into two sections. Hannah was in charge of filming the clips and I was responsible for editing. We both had input into what the shots would look like and finalised together.

Music Poster Draft

To ensure that our music posters fit together, I changed the name of the album to a self titled album. I have also decided to move the logos down to the bottom section of the poster as I think it takes away the information from the top section. I also need to add a release date for the album.

Music Poster Flat Plan

I also decided to change the music poster design and have one full portrait photograph of Aidan, instead of splitting it into sections. Having the photographs that I took got Aidan in the bottom and centre of the photograph, I can use the top section to display information about the artist and album.

Digipak Flat Plan

For the front cover, I plan to create a window effect, creating four squares to show an image of Aidan through the centre. The name of the artist shall be displayed over the image.



For the back cover, I plan to use a photograph of New York skyline and then add a black square with the opacity reduced and then add the track listing of the album. I shall also add a barcode, information about the band for contact reasons and logos for the record company. 


Digi Pak Development

I have decided to change the images used for the front cover of my digi pak. Instead of having multiple images, I have decided to use the Kings of Leon album cover that we analysed and have Aidan's face split into squares.
