This is one of the pictures of our artist which we intended to use for the front of our digipak. We wanted to make the picture black and white and then have the lipstick red, as the red plays a big part in our video and is a main colour as it is bright and stands out. We tried to edit this on a windows computer but realised that it needs to be done on a Apple mac computer. We have chosen the font and style of the writing on our digipak, but we have a few ideas for the pictures which we have taken. Today i have been playing around with images for the front cover of the digipak whilst the others work on the inside, pull outs and the back cover. We chose to do a section of the digipak each, so that we have all worked equally as hard and have all had a part in which we are responsible for finishing. We chose images which are close up of the artist, as when we done research for our music genre, this is how the majority of the images were - the main artist up close to the camera.
I can see a wide range of digipak work here but it is all in small posts - I assume this is because you've been posting what you have and then having to wait. Instead of posting a series of small ideas under each one I'll put a detailed post here, then you can action it as you see fit. What I think would be beneficial is if you took all your smaller posts and merged them into a smaller number of more detailed posts.
ReplyDeleteAim to have covered:
1) A complete mock up of each part of the digipak
2) An analysis of each part of the digipak
Some questions to consider:
i) How will this product create the desired image of your artist?
ii) How will this product appeal to the target audience?
iii) How does this product meet or subvert the conventions of digipak design you identified in your analysis of exisitng products?
iv) How does this tie in with your music promo?
I'd focus your attention on discussing primarily the use of colour, image, text and the shaping and positioning of the shots.
