Vampire Weekend (Contra) Feedback

Also as an idea when creating many more variations of a cover to pick from, Mr ford told me to take inspiration from Vampire Weekend's Contra as it already had some existing features which had some relevance to my draft cover. Here is what I created;

overall I prefer my original cover but this was a good area to research and did help me overall create a better digipak cover.

Teacher feedback on digipak and advert

This is the feedback that is was given by my teacher on my digipak and music magazine advert. this feedback I will act upon and use the advice given to improve my work to make it the best that it can be.

Teacher Feedback From Draft

We were asked to print off a physical copy of our Drafts. The music poster in an A4 format and the CD template in A3 format. We were asked by our subject teachers (Mr Smith & Mr Ford) as they were going to give us some feedback on our draft work. Mr Ford did mine. He said that he did indeed like my idea on the music poster but I few changes would have to be made. He highlighted that the name of the album itself wasn't actually featured on my music poster, this doesn't follow the conventions of music posters from this genre or indeed any genre. Therefore I have elected to change this and feature it in the space where the website is and then to move the website down to the bottom. He also pointed out that at the bottom of my poster it tells you all the formats the product can be produced in. He crossed out the "special edition Vinyl 10'" and asked me to change this to a digital format. This will be another change to make on my final music poster.

Again he seemed relatively happy with my Draft template cd also. He said that I would ideally like to produce a lyric book, this will be done for my final mock up and I will put a lot of research into making my own one for the album. Also the text on the spine is actually upside down which I hadn't noticed, this will need to be flipped on my final piece. Also on the spine of my CD I will need to feature a record label logo or website. This will all be done to my spine.

One of the main things that he saw wrong with my CD template was the use of borders. This is a common theme in all of my digipak. But he rightfully noticed that the borders needed to be the same gap on the back as the front, this would create more fluidity in my CD case.  This will be changed so they are all the same.

All of this advice will be acted upon when making amendments to my draft. I will also produce different variations of the same product using the different images fonts and layouts in order to pick the best of created images ultimately optimising my final products quality.

Journey In Draft Cover Creation

I started by looking at the images from the photo shoot and the one in top left really caught my eye. I then saw the Frank oceans blonde album and really like the simplicity of it. I was originally going to use the top left image in that format. I then looked at fonts and colour schemes I really liked the idea of a black and white sort of polaroid effect on the image. I then went off the idea of polaroid's. I then looked at the way the Orwell's have used fonts and borders in two of their album covers. I was going to copy these two factors in my own cover. This wouldn’t work with the image being colourful so I looked at more darker images from the shoot. I liked this one above the text as it was facing the camera in a similar way to Dan crolls Album which is on the bottom middle of the board. I then really liked the Dan Croll colour scheme but after looking at M83's colourful album cover it kind of put me off. Again this idea went nowhere. I then explored and looked at Aiden Grimshaw's album cover. I liked the use of greenery. I then used photos from the short that featured greenery. This idea again never materialised. I then came across the work of the arctic monkeys and Kasabian first album and reverted back to a black and white colour scheme. I tried this without a border and with a border and with moving the font around. I then finally decided on the bottom right. Using Frank oceans border theme and the Orwell's font with the colour scheme from Kasabian and AM. 

Draft Music Poster Potential Shots

We took numerous photos in a photo shoot round my house. Here are the shots that I am most likely to use when creating my music poster for the digipak. They all have their own strengths and weakness'.

Draft Digipak Covers

I have been playing around with the simplistic approach with my draft Digipak cover. I have tried out many different layouts here are two of my favourites;
