Magazine Advert Drafts

This was the first draft of our idea for the magazine advert. We used a exclusion effect which turned our white background into a brownish effect. Then we have faded the  around the artist to make it ligher than the background.

In this draft we have decreased the lighting in the picture and kept everything else the same as the picture.








This is the final draft made by me and my partner, firstly we have added the red colour in the middle of      the artists name, which makes it stand out. We also added an colour dodge effect to the picture which has a slightly blue tint around the artist and makes the wall stand out.

Magazine Advert Font Styles

This is the different type of fonts me and my partner came across. We both decided to choose a font which has a graffiti style because the picture we are using it looks like the artist is spraying on the writing. So a graffiti font will make it look more realistic. Through our discussion and feedback from our class mates we have came to a conclusion to use the second style. This is due to the font have drips from the lettering which makes it more realistic when we edit it with the artist.

DigiPak photoshoot

For our Digipak Photoshoot, we have taken a variety of different close up shots of the artist. We have taken most of the shots as a close up because we are trying to sell our artist by having many different images to promote his album. 

Camera Used

The Canon EOS 550D is an 18 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, which has many different features including recording HD 1080. My partner and I have used this camera throughout our music video. At first, we have to get use to the features, as it was not as simple to use. However, through some practise my partner and I became more aware of the fascinating features – which we used for our music video.  

One of the reasons why we choose to use this camera was because of the different feature it has provided us, which will be useful for our music video.  One of the features we have used throughout our music video was the focus of the lens. We out focused the background and focused into the artist more, to have a more effective shot. 

Draft DigiPak

This was our first draft of our Digipak; we have used existing Digipak and have taken different ideas from them.  We have decided to have a close up shot of the artists face for the front album cover, as it will stand out for the audiences. 

DigiPak Effects

FEEDBACK

My partner and I have made a variety of different effect ideas on our final Digipak. After editing these different album cover, we have shown these to our media class and gained feedback. Most of the people in the class preferred the last edits, as it suits our music genre and looks very professional. From this feedback, my partner and I have decided to use this one for our final album cover. 

DigiPak Fonts

After many research on different fonts that can be used in our Digipak. We have came across some fonts we liked and then started comparing these different fonts and asking feedback from different target audiences to see which ones they liked the most. As we wanted to have all our products to have some sort of relationship, me and my partner have chosen  the first font as it appeals to us the most.

DigiPak Ideas - 

After using our font, we have started to put the font on different places on the album cover, to see which has the most effective look. After two drafts of different ideas, we have concluded to use the font in the left hand side of the picture in the middle as it stands out more. We have put the artist name in black and the album name in red, as it is easier for the audiences to figure out which is what.
