Final digi-pack design

This is my final digi-pack I have created. I felt that it was important that Beau was featured on the front cover of the album, as he is a new artist and needs to get his face known to the public. I kept the cover quite simple and ensured that I included the guitar, as this is the artists unique selling point. I also included a close up of the guitar on the back to maintain this element. I have put a list of the songs on the back and included the interscope records logo to show which record label Beau is from. On the third outside panel I included an image of two people's converse. I made one of them stand on tip toes to suggest that this is a girl that Beau has met, and to suggest that there is an element of love to his songs. I chose the shoes to be converse to match Beau's image. On the inside of the digi-pack I have included various lyrics from the album, instead of having a booklet of lyrics. I wanted the inside to be quite simple and used a grass background, to make it match with the other images on the digi-pack.

Digi-pack designs

Here are my three digi-pack designs. I ensured that all of my designs featured Beau as he is a new artist and he should be on the cover of the album. All of the designs include an image of the guitar as the guitar was Beau's unique selling point. In all three of the designs I included an image which could suggest that he urges for a relationship and there is an element of love to his songs, e.g. the holding hands, the girls shoes.

Lesson 2 - Digi-packs

In the lesson, we began the research of digi-packs. We looked at Mrs Raji's examples of digi-packs, so it would give us ideas on the certain features that a digi-pack should have. We discussed what would make the audience want to buy a digi-pack, as a lot of people now download their music and think CD's can be a waste of money. This made me realise that I will have to differentiate my digi-pack to others, otherwise it will not be successful with the audience. It will have to include something in it, such as a poster, to make the audience want to buy the digi-pack instead of downloading the music.

people have done this

• Post that Mrs Raji has asked to be completed are STILL missing on MOST blogs –

this will help improve ‘research into similar products’ 

• Don’t think I have read in any blog posts the application of Goodwin on your own

videos

• Consider how to gather more audience research/ feedback

   • Embed schedule

  • I like the animation progress screen shots, keep that up

  • No labels gadget

 1. M – No evidence of independent research in music video e.g. only class analysis

present on blog, need digipak analysis and poster analysis 

2. M – only a picture of a schedule 

3. B – Can’t remember if I saw an animatic – but also post the story board. Keep

updating on the animation

 4. B/P – Different font sizes on blog is a bit annoying

Beau's Costume Design

This is the type of clothes Beau is going to wear in the music video. We felt it matches our brief and it is quite a casual look. The earrings and bracelets gives him more of an 'edgy' unique style. 

Girls Costume Design

This is the type of clothing we are going to have for the girl in the music video. It has similarities to Beau's costume with the skinny jeans and converse. We felt the bright red scarf would make her stand out from the crowd when she is watching him sing.

Progress on Animation

This shows the process of us editing our animation drawings on Photoshop. We decided to darken the pencil line drawings as it would make the drawings clearer and give it a more cartoon effect. We decided to do the animation on Photoshop, instead of assembling the drawings by hand, as it would have been more time consuming.
