WEBSITE

On the back of my digipak, I featured a website for our band entitled 'Studdedroses.co.uk.' I thought it would be a nice idea to create a sample of what our homepage would look like if we were to actually create the website. I did this using Photoshop and below is what it looks like:

Promotional advertisement


My promotional advertisement is very in-keeping with my digipak which it needed be in order for it to flow together. I used the image from the front of my digipak as it is promoting the digipak, so potential buyers know what to look for. I decorated the sides of my advertisement with studs to tie in our name with the poster. I also added in roses next to the album name for the same reason.  I chose to use this font for the release date as it is the font we used on our crime boards, and I wanted to tie our video into the advertisement.

DIGIPAK - FINISHED!


This is my front cover.






Throughout making my digipak, constantly in the back of my mind were the codes and conventions. All of the features of a digipak were included such as, our band logo, song list, group photos, a colour scheme, album title and also the specific logos needed (DVD symbol, Record label and Compact disc logo).

I am pleased with the overall look of my digipak. I think each section works very well with each other. The main colour scheme was based around both the logo and the dress code for our Scandalous music video. The hardest part for me was researching what needs to be in a digipak, including the copy right information. 

My digipak was relatively simple to make. The black and white images were made by changing the threshold. In some images, the threshold got rid of certain facial features, so I duplicated the base image and edited the duplicate image so the facial feature was present. The images themselves were pretty easy to edit as they were of high quality. The rose image used on my digipak was taken from our logo.

In terms of style of my digipak, I opted for the two discs. However, I decided to make a pocket for the DVD rather than a push in holder like for the CD.

Production Journal - 03/01/2012

In my free lesson today, I was hoping to carry on with my digipak. However, Photoshop keeps coming up with an error that I don't know how to resolve.
