Digipal poster // audience poll

Digipak poster // sixth draft

Changes I have made:

I have once again changed the filter for my poster. I decided to go with a clean and clear filter this time. I like this filter as it looks vibrant yet manages to keep the clean appearance. It also makes the images and the font pure and with a hint of elegance, but still has that urban feel of Scott Garcia.

Problems I now face:

I really like this filter, but now I have the problem of selecting between this and the fifth draft as I like them both equally. I think I will conduct some audience research, and ask the target audience to select which one they prefer.

Digipak poster// fifth draft

Changes I have made:

I have changed the filter once again, this time I have adding a brown tinge to the poster. I like the outcome of this filter, as all the images are clear, the polaroid colours still give off a urban vibe and it I believe that it works well with my digipak.

Problems I now face:

I do like this filter, and everything seems to work well so I don't really have any problems at this moment. I may still try other filters and see how they look, but as of now, I like this one.

Digipak poster // fourth draft

Changes I have made:

I have been further playing around with the filter of the poster. I like this one far better than the previous drafts, due to it have a more consistency in colour brightness and everything is visible and makes it look clean.

Problems that I now face:

The use of the filter has made the polaroids look light brown and almost yellow. This is not what I want to communicate through my digipak poster as I want it to be urban and not this ugly colour. I won't be keeping this filter, the brightness and everything is nice but the colour itself is just not right.

Digipak poster // third draft

Changes I have made:

I have once again changed the filter, instead of opting for a brown giving it a dirty, urban vibe, I have opted to go with a blue. The blue gives the poster a cool and chilled out feel, which is totally what Scott Garcia is about. I prefer this to the second draft, but this has given me the same issues as before.

Problems I now face:

As stated above, I have similar issues with the lighting and colour as I did in the second draft. The images in the far left corner are very dark, and are near enough not visible. Also, some of the images have became brighter and some are darker, which is taking away its consistency. I don't think I am very pleased with this draft, and will be changing it again.

Digipak poster // second draft

Changes I have made:

The only change I have made to my first draft of my digipak poster is the colour filter. I decided to give my poster a hint of "dirtyness" to continue the urban vibe that I am trying to create for Scott Garcia's image. This is further continued with the scratches over the main image.

Problems I now face:

There are multiple problems with using this type of filter. For example, the colour darkens the images around the edge making it hard to see what they actually are. It also makes the poster seem too much and too vibrant and chaotic. I also think that it doesn't blend well with the colour scheme of the digipak, this being too dirty. Overall, I think I will change the filter and not keep this one.

Digipak poster // first draft

For my digipak poster, I struggled with linking it towards my digipak. After much deliberating, I decided to use the polaroid collage idea and implement this into my digipak poster. I used similar images to my digipak to make it more coherent and make the connection between the digipak and the poster much stronger. I feel it looks very unique and would stand out in a crowd of other digipak posters. I also feel that it works well with the dance genre and I am very pleased with this result.

Digipak // final draft w/ CD

What I have done:

Here if my final digipak draft with both CDs included. The first CD, the one with the rabbits all over the edges, is the main CD which features the soundtrack. The blue lights CD is the extra disk that comes with the digipak, which has video clips of the tour. 

My thoughts:

I'm very pleased with the overall outcome of the digipak and the CD. I think it communicates the genre of dance effectively and looks exciting and professional, which was my intention.

Digipak // bonus tour DVD draft 3

Changes I have made:

I decided to change the imagery from my second draft to this new image, as I felt the orange and the brown just didn't work with my digipak. Again, this is still original imagery that I have taken myself, so this doesn't remove the element of being my own work and making it more original.

Problems I now faced:

There are no problems now, as I will not be changing this and will be keeping this draft for my digipak.

Digipak // bonus tour DVD draft 2

Changes I have made:

As advised by my teacher, I decided to change my DVD cover imagery and opt to use original images that I have taken myself. This to me makes the DVD that little bit better, as uses images that I have taken making my work my original and more of my own.

Problems I now faced:

The only problem I have here is the colours of this image, as I feel that the yellow and browns do fit well with my colour scheme for my digipak. I may have to look for other images I have taken.

Digipak // bonus tour DVD draft 1

I decided to take a similar route for my bonus tour dvd that I did for the actual CD itself. So, I found a background from Google and placed it on. I feel this looks very professional and adapts the theme of my digipak very well, and just blends in well. I like the idea of the crowd, as the panel it rests behind it about his tour, so this is like a image from his tour and makes it look as if he is connecting more with his fans, sharing the experience together.

Digipak // CD cover draft 2

Changes I have made:

I felt like the old CD cover was a bit plain, even though it had such a distinct design. I thought hard about it and realised that it was the background of the CD - it just didn't seem to fit as my digipak is just so out there.

Problems I now faced:

I have no issues as of yet, I like this new design and believe that I won't be changing this.

Digipak // CD cover draft 1

This is my first draft for the CD cover. My goal was to make it stand out, striking and rememberable. So, I decided to incorporate the idea of the rabbit, and because the panel behind it has the story of the rabbit and its origin story makes this CD work very well with my digipak.

Digipak // seventh draft (final)

Changes I have made:

I have finally changed the favourite place panel, and have no placed a bonus tour DVD. The reason for this as I was slightly unsure on the previous draft, and with advise my teacher, opted to remove it as it may segregate fans outside of the United Kingdom. So, this ended up in the addition of a DVD, to make fans want to purchase it more for this extra content and make it more appealing.

Problems I now face:

I have no problems with this draft. I feel this is the best one I have done and this will be my final draft for my digipak. I like the overall turn out of this digipak, and how it has all come together. 

Digipak // sixth draft

Changes I have made:

As stated before, I haven't made that many changes, except for the three bottom panels. I have removed the white starry background, and opted for a coloured one. I feel this makes it more distinct and is more connected with the dance genre. Overall, it just enhances my digipakand makes it that more striking and appealing for the target audience.

Problems I now faced:

I feel content with this draft, but again, I'm still unsure of the favourite place panel. I might ask people in my class for their opinions on this panel and go from there.
