Back cover digipack-

This is the back cover design for my digipack, I’ve used a mixture of puzzle pieces with the names of the song written on the back of them as well as a brush effect with a faded image of the artist in the background. I like the initial idea because I think it’s quite eye-catching in terms of the colours used but at the moment I think the overall design is fairly plain and not really different and this is something I need to work on when creating my final product as well as improving the type of font used.

Magazine Advert- First Draft:

This is my magazine advert first draft. I decided to stick to the puzzle piece concept in order to keep consistency between the album covers and the overall theme however for my final draft I want to make the advert look a bit more realistic and perhaps use a different font which stands out more. However one thing which I think is successful is that I’ve appealed to current audiences by using Facebook, this social networking site is really popular amongst my TA and it’s something I can use to connect to them.

First Draft DigiPack- Front and middle designs:

This week I’ve been working on finishing the first drafts of my digipack and I’ve currently created both the front and middle design to go in the album and I just need to finish creating the back design.
At present I do really like the overall concept of the design but I think elements of it such as the text need to be improved however before I make any improvements I need to get audience feedback in order to see what elements they feel need more work and what elements they so far find successful, so I can work on making the successful elements better and improving those which are less so.

Album cover Drafts- Front and Back:

In order to stick to the concept of the album title ‘missing piece’ I’ve decided to create an album cover which utilizes a puzzle like effect. For the front I'm going to include a side on picture of my artist and colour specific sections of the puzzle in so it looks like pieces are missing from it and down the side I've decided to write key words related to the artist and the album in different colours in order to make the cover stand out. For the back I’ve decided to have separate puzzle pieces, hanging down on strings or shoe laces, with the names of the songs on these pieces. I think this will be effective because it will be striking and is quite different while it ties in to the album name and the overall puzzle concept.
The following is a more detailed analysis of the specific components that will make up my album covers:

This is a sequence of the draft storyboards I created accompanied by my chosen song: Simply Wonderful by Tim Myers. Even though I’ve drafted several different types of shots such as extreme close up and long shots for my actual music video I want to include a wider variety of different camera angles and shots to make my video look more interesting and keep the audience intrigued.
I initially wanted to use only one ‘story line’ within my video where I would base the video on one couple and the rest of the people featured within the video would mime and dance to the song however with the audience feedback I gained, specifically that this idea may become slightly repetitive, and advise of my teacher I’ve reassessed my ideas in order to include several story lines in the video. I’m still going to include people dancing and miming however the video is now going to be based on what people find ‘simply wonderful’ where I will film them doing what they love for example painting and after they will hold a sign up saying e.g. ‘art is simply wonderful’. I think this is a better idea because it’s less repetitive and therefore more interesting while it directly incorporates the lyrics of the song with the whole theme of the video.
