Draft Digipak by Michelle Richards


This is our first draft digipak for our music video with our artist Chloe Morgan. It still needs to be improved on a lot. The colours I've used are very dull but simple as I want to stick to the codes and conventions of the singer-songwriter genre. For the final editing I want to challenge this by adding a different colour coordination so something that's brighter to add a different vibe to this digipak. 

Because our artist did not have time to do a photo-shoot for the digipak, I had to screenshot the first draft digipak photos for the video. After researching into movie posters, I noticed that most movie posters are shots from the actual movie itself rather than a photo-shoot- Ana




Draft Digipak 2










 This digipak still had images from the first draft digipak. The only thing new is the front cover. We decided as a group to change the whole style of our digipak, therefore we did changed the whole look and colour scheme of it.

After replacing the artist Chole with Manija, we did a photo-shoot and the idea of using petals came to our minds. Unfortunately we still haven't decided on which photos to use except the front cover, so we had to use some of the pictures from the screenshots- Ana

 Draft Digipak 3

























This digipak consisted of pictures from the photoshoot we did of our new artist. All the pictures in this digipak were picked by everyone in the group, therefore I just put them into places where I thought would be suitable. The flowers on the CD Cover were starting to emerge and I had great ideas for the next steps in developing our digipak.


Draft Digipak 4






















This digipak was improving as I had a new layout and used the conventions of digipaks. I only started to add the titles of songs included in the album, I included the Barcode and the copyrights act. By using these, I felt like our digipak was coming in place. I still needed to fix the CD cover, to make it a circle and adjust to it.

Draft Digipak 5 






















This is the final draft of our digipak. As you can see the font colour is still the same, even the font size is the same. The pictures are all the same and I've managed to adjust the pictures in the right way for the inside right and left panels. The colour grading is different also, giving it that simple but neutral look towards it. Singer-songwriter artist tend to have simplistic digipaks, with no colour apart from black and white. By challenging this convention of the genre, we were able to have something different apart from the typical colours of black and white on digipaks and Magazine adverts.

Magazine Edit 1



This was the first draft of a magazine advert. I created it on publisher therefore the standard wasn't great compared to adverts being created in Photoshop. however  I am planning to keep certain elements  that was successfully.
