Poster Idea 1

This is my first idea of my album poster which i created on Photoshop.
 I used the image taken in the photo shoot on the day out up London with the band. The reason why I choose this photo is because it has a strong meaning of the boys looking out in achieving their dreams , also the bridge represent london in where they are from . They are shown together as they are a band and also playing around with the effect i added a blur to make it look unique and indie. In addition , i added the whole track listing and made the debut album stand out as that is the main attraction.

INSIDE PANEL

This is my inside panel design. 

I decided to change my inside panel due to from my feedback , I had to change it as it was a basic design. I chose to make my digi pack more unique and added a element which gives the audience a choice. This panel can me mixed from an image of a the bass guitar , drums , microphone or guitar. They each represent a different person. This idea plays on the strings of my digi pack being more of a collectors item for the super fans. Something in which we learnt at the beginning that a digi pack is for collectors purpose. I feel that this is a good idea that involves the super fans to chase them down. In addition . the angle of the shot makes the image more engaging and exciting and unique due to it going up the guitar strings. Furthermore the red carry on that red theme throughout my digi pack giving it consistency.

CD panel ( CD)

This is the CD I created. I wanted to be unique and different and wanted to make a CD that wasn't like the others of other people. I wanted the CD to show the image of the band and how they create their music. So i came up with the idea of using a ashtray. 

The use of the ashtray was a way to show the image of the band that some of the member smoke and their rebellious lifestyle. In addition the ashtray and amount of cigerrettes sybsllises the creation of their music , they make the music when they are together chilling out.  The ashtray is a symbolic image of the friendship of the band and how they created this digipack through hanging bout together like a 'gathering' drinking and smoking. Just like Ossis album ..... They had their front cover of them chilling out smoking ect.

How I done this was I collected cigerrettes from the Christmas period and put them in one ashtray and took a high angle photo.

Overall i am pleased with this outcome as like mentioned above this has a lot of hidden meaning About the band , genre and the music snd also is a unique idea. The black and white suits the digi pack color theme and I hope the feedback is positive.

Bonus DVD (DVD)

This is the DVD I used for my DVD Panel.

I wanted to be unique like my other CD panel and instead of having a boring disk I wanted to be unique and different , a theme In which I am trying to show in my digi pack do I decided to use a

Bottle cps as my disk. Firstly I took a image of a range of bottle caps shown bellow. And chose one that looked vintage and rustic so it gave off a rough effect. I then created the logo on photoshop through using circles to create the red outline and then the white outline in the middle and then put A red straight line across. I done that because there will be a whole in the DVD so a white background wouldn't look that clear and I feel the red line works well and breaks up the 'rouges' and 'gallery' making the disk less boring a simple. I then chose the colour red for the sybsllises reasoning of my digi pack.

And then I just merge the logo

On top of the bottle cap.

Overall I am happy with my digi pack and feel like it works well and is unique and different. It also links in with the CD panel. But CD doesn't link in with the pocket so from my feedback i will see what I should do. But I am pleased with it so far , and hopefully from the feedback and can make it 'perfect' 

CD Panel Second: (Pocket)

This is the draft of my Bonus DVD panel.

I wanted to unique and decided to make a pocket for the DVD to be slotted into.

For this DVD I wanted to use an image which links into the theme of what the DVD is about , with a band performance image of the band back stage as that is what the DVD is about, showing the band back stage ect. I then edited the photo and made it black and

White so it follows the theme of my digi pack and also ensured that the red guitar stands out as the colour red is a symbolic colour through out my digi pack.

Overall i am happy with this pocket as I feel the image links in with what the DVD is about and is a better image that the one used before. However I feel like with my DVD being a bottle cap their is no link there and with this image of the band it could be too many images of the band and start to look abit to appearcne focused than what the real theme is , is to show the band lifestyle and type of music and band they are in their digi pack. I am going to present this to my class and get feedback.

CD panel: ( Background)

This is the panel background of my CD panel. I created through using a old coffe table and I etch into the table 'rogues gallery' this is because this links into my CD being a ash tray of cigerrettes. I have a video below in two parts showing me etching the rogues gallery into the table using my door key. The roghness of the rogues gallery shows the type of appearance the band is , they have a rough and messy appearcne and about them and I applied this through the style of font I etched in. The block letting makes the band look masculine too.

I really like this idea and with the CD on top I feel like it will work perfectly and really sybsllises the lifestyle and appearance of the band.

inside panel 2nd draft

This is an image I used for one of my panels.

For my digi pack And the research I conducted i wanted to ensure my bad is seen as a indie band not a pop band. Pop band sell their image , where as with indie it's about the whole package, their lifestyle music And a bit about their image so I need to show this in my digi pack . By doing this I don't want my digi pack to be covered in images fof the band , I want to use images that sybsllises the band and the music. So I choose to use alcohol and smoking.

The collection of these photo are shown in a previous post but I choose these photo because of the smoke coming from the roll up. This made the image more exciting and stands out , making it look more cooll and professional.

I put all the object on the table and then I took a photo of them with out the smoke , I then thought of the idea of adding smoke , so I light the rizler and then took a number of photos.

In photoshop made this image black

And white as that is the theme of my digi pack.

Overall I happy with this image as I feel it symbolise the image/life style of the band , something which is vital for indie bands and the smoke gives the image a more Exciting feel to the image. 

Howeverr with the image being black and white it makes it look boring so I feel like I need to add more color to

Bring the image to life. So I will
