OUR DIGIPAK




As the message in the inside left panel of our digipak is unclear because Arfa had to readjust the dimensions of the image in order for it to fit into our post, Arfa typed up what the text read below:

It reads: "Someone made a bet with us that we couldn't release an album with the word 'dyke' in the name... we proved them wrong- we won that 26 pence. Since then we've toured the world, played at various festivals and have gained a major following of fans to whom we are eternally grateful! We wanna say a huge thanks to our family, friends and management team for helping us achieve our goal".

MAGAZINE ADVERTISEMENT




Above, is our magazine advertisement which shows an image of our group's album. In order for us to grasp a better idea of what what areas we could improve on for this product, I decided to ask my friends via the social networking website Facebook to give me their opnions on our magazine advertisement. Below are the feedback I received:

  • Martin Lambert and Parth Vyas like this.
    • Parth Vyas The advert is great, looks authentic, like the way they are looking away from the camera into the distance, it gives the feeling that we are looking in on them and they have an aim as a band

    • Conor Fuzzy-Bear Travers nice shot, kinda deep. Would be nicer if you could either incorporate more of a contrast with the colours or maybe try a black and white version

OUR DIGIPACK COVER


In order for our group to gain a better understanding of the best image required for the front cover of our digipak, we decided to take numerous photos of the band in a park. We took different pictures as it would offer us plenty of options. We also elected on showing the band in a park, as the park in which we took the photos was situated within close proximity to our school. Furthermore, a park is a fun, relaxing place where young people, in particular, socialise, As our band our young, 'indie' teenagers, we felt that by exposing the band in a park, it would make our digipak look more authentic as a result.

ROUGH CUT OF OUR MUSIC VIDEO

This is a rough cut of the first 1 minute 41 seconds of our music video. We decided to make a rough cut in order for us to gain a better understanding of what areas of the music video we should improve on. The only way we would know how we should improve would be by showing our target audience a version of our rough cut and by them commenting on the video via social networking sites such as YouTube and Facebook.


Below our the comments I received:

DIGIPAK PLAN AND BRAINSTORM

Arfa and I created a plan for how each of our digipak panel would like so that we both gain a better understanding of what it could look like. Each panel included detailed ideas of possible colours, fonts, group poses, and layouts we could use. Arfa and I also sat down together and brainstormed possible the digipak including font, font size, colour scheme, how many panels we should include, what each panel should show, and the dimensions of the the digipak collectively.

Our plan and brainstorm are below:

This is our plan for our front and back cover:



This is our plan for the inside right and inside left:


Below is the brainstorm for our digipak which allowed us to plan out all our ideas and give us a better understanding of what to include for our digipak:

PLANNING OUR DIGIPACK

In order to find the best location for our digipak cover, I took a series of photos at a nearby park to scout out different locations that we could use. My group and I believe that showing the band in the park will reinforce how cool and fun they are. Being cool and laid-back is a major characteristic of an indie band.
