Print work: DIGIPAK FINISHED

Time Management

Digipak and Magazine advert all finished - 7/12/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Magazine advert

This is the finished piece for my magazine advert. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the image and I like the effect I have given it. I decided to stick with the same font so there is a pattern throughout the advert and digipak, and I also used ideas from other magazine adverts that share the same genre as mine. I also put the website and record company logo on there as this is common in indie folk/pop adverts.

Drawing for magazine advert 6/12/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Magazine advert

I have had some trouble trying to find an image I have taken to use for my magazine advert which shares the same concept as my digipak. However, I thought this photo (when edited and drawn) will look quite interesting and artistic, and also suits the concept as the fence in this image actually runs along the side of an alleyway. Also, the way that the fence slowly lowers and fades out almost represents a path or journey.

This is the drawing I made from the image. I decided not to include the tree on the left hand side as I will need this area to put text in, and I also made the tree in the middle a bit more pop-arty as I found it quite difficult to draw. However I quite like this picture so I think I will use it for my magazine advert. Also, I was thinking of only using half a page for the advert as all of the artists I have looked at which share the same genre only use that much of the page. I also kept in mind that the artist I'm using has only just been signed and isn't that famous and so she probably wouldn't release an advert that takes up a whole page of a magazine.

Print work: Organisation

I aim to have the drawing for my magazine advert finished by the 6/12/12.

Print work: inside left

This is the finished version. As I have put lyrics in the bottom right corner of the right inside area I thought I should do the same for this part, but instead at the top so it creates some sort of pattern which I think works really well.

Drawing for inside left of digipak Deadline 5/12/12: Met

Print work: Inside of digipak

This is the image I am going to use for the right inside part of my digipak. I think this picture suits my concept well as it is about a journey and the picture of the roads with cars driving past clearly demonstrates that.

I have now edited the image and changed the size so I can draw it. This is what I came up with, which I quite like so I am going to scan this one back in also and edit it further, and maybe put some lyrics over the top.

I aim to have my drawing for the inside left of my digipak finished by the 5/12/12.

Print work: Inside right

The is the finished version of the right side of the digipak. I'm really pleased with the drawing, and I think it looks even better now I have edited it further after scanning it in. Also, because I thought it looked a little plain, I decided to add some lyrics from the song 'Home' in the bottom right hand corner so there is a link between the picture and the song itself.

Drawing for inside right of digipak 3/12/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Inside of digipak

I have now edited the image and changed the scale so it fits the disk tray perfectly. I have also drawn the image using fine liner pen and this is what it looks like. I really like this so I am definitely going to scan the image back in to edit a bit more in photoshop so I can use it in my digipak.

Printwork: Organisation

I aim to have the picture for my disk tray edited and drawn by the 3/12/12. Again I will try and use my free's and time at home to complete this.

Print work: Inside of digipak

For the inside of my digipak I'm think of using this for the right hand side area where the disk is placed. Mainly because of the shape as this would suit the CD disk tray and the flower also adds to the whole nature theme. Also, the girl in the music video will be passing quite of lot of this as she travels through the city. 

Print work: Back cover

This is the back cover of the digipak finished. I decided to stick with the font 'Nyla' and listed her album down the left hand side of the tree branch as this seemed to be the most suitable place to put it.

Print work: Feedback

This is the feedback I was given for the back of my cd digipak.

Drawing for the back of digipak 1/12/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Back cover

This is the image I'm thinking of using for the back cover of my digipak. I think this suits the concept really well as the two people walking represent the couple in the music video. Also, in the video the two people meet at the end, which fits perfectly for my digipak as it will be on the back. In order to take this photo I arranged to go into town with a couple of my friends, and got them to walk up the path together while I stood far back, so I could get the tree branch in.

I then edited the photo in photoshop again, and then I drew it using fine liner and this is what I came up with.

Print work: Organisation

I aim to have the inside left of my digipak edited and drawn by the 1/12/12. I will try and do this by using my free's at college and some time at home to get it finished.

Print work: Front cover - Finished

This is the finished front cover. When deciding where to put the text I thought it would be a good idea to place them in the slabs, one behind the other as it gives the effect of some ones foot steps.

Print work: Feedback

After looking at my feedback I have decided that I am going to use the top font named 'Nyla' as my audience really like this one, and I too think it suits my digipak perfectly as it is very sophisticated looking and also seems to fit in well with my drawing.

Print work: Fonts

These are the 5 different fonts I am looking to use throughout my advert and digipak, however I am not sure which one I want to use and so I am going to post this on facebook and get some feedback.

Audience feedback for front cover by 29/11/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: feed back

This is the feedback I received when I posted my drawing on facebook. I'm really happy with what my audience have said about it and so I am definitely going to use this for my front cover of the digipak.

Print work: Organisation

I am planning to put my drawing on facebook to get some feed back. I will make sure this is done by 29/11/12.

I have now edited the image in photoshop by changing the image to black and white, and then altering the threshold so the picture is a lot more bold and striking. I really liked this effect and so I decided to print it off, and then draw the image myself using a fine liner pen. This is the drawing that I made from the image, which I will then scan back into photoshop so I can add text and change the contrast of the image.

Print work: Front cover

I have decided that I am going to use this image for my front cover as I think this has a good concept as the video is about a girl travelling through different places who eventually finds her 'home' which will be a boy. I thought the idea of a path suits this perfectly as this shows her journey to find him.

However i am not planning on leaving it like this, and so I am going to open it back up in photoshop and then edit it and maybe put it in black and white as this suits the indie folk genre. I will also need to figure out how I am going to work on top the image with either pen or biro for the authentic effect.

Print work: Extension

I have been given an extension for my advert and digipak which allows me to work on it for another week. I decided I needed one as I took a lot of photos and was struggling to come up with an idea. I was also ill for a couple of days and so I fell behind in my work. However now I have till the 7th of December to finish my digipak and advert which I feel should be enough time to get it all finished.

Take Images at night time for digipak/magazine advert by 27/11/12 Deadline: Met

Print work: Images

When taking the photos, I found that it was extremely hard to get a clear picture as the shutter was very slow as it was dark, meaning I could not hold the camera still enough in that period of time. Here are some of the photos I took like this.

However I decided to look up on the internet how to get the camera to take a clear image, which resulted in me changing the iso sensitity and slowing the shutter right down. It also advised that I use a tripod, and I was able to borrow my brothers, which enabled me to take some clear photos of the city from around my area.

 I was able to take these photos as the shutter was set for round about 15 seconds, which meant whenever a car drove past their lights would create this effect which I really like.

Print work: Organisation

I have decided that I am going to take some more photos of scenery but this time at night. In order to do this I will have to borrow the camera out again, and then I will organise for a friend to drive to to different areas to take the photos. When taking my photos in the day time, I noticed a path at the top of my road which overlooks the city. I think at night time this will look really interesting so I am going to go there. This will happen on the 27/11/12.

Print work: Front cover

I'm thinking of using this image for the front cover of my digipack. I quite like the way the Branch is in focus as this enables me to edit the background and put writing over the top. I have already edited this image in photoshop by cropping out the tree branch, and then lightening the background. To give my digipak the authentic effect, I have put the tree branch back onto the lighter image and then I have worked ontop of it using a biro pen. However I have decided that I don't want to use this image for my front cover as the concept isn't very strong and it doesn't contain enough detail.
