Feedback Digipak & Poster

Digipak template feedback
Overall my feedback from my peers as well as from my teachers is expected. I made some blatant errors that will need to be recorrected before I submit my final piece. From my peers I learnt that my digipak template will need to include a CD imprint and also a lyric book.

Music poster feedback
Overall on my music poster feedback the reception was very positive but i will need to make a few changes to layout. From my peers i learnt that the image needs to be enlarged in order to kill off dead space.
These corrections will be posted shortly as this will be my final piece including all areas of my digipak completed.

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.

Corrections: Music Poster

During my feedback I was also asked to make some alterations to my music poster. I was asked to incorporate a date for release of the album also to include the album name. This lead me to move the website and also the record label logo. making good use of the upper body. Also I have changed the text at the bottom to incorporate a digital element of sale into my advertisement, removing the vinyl aspect.

Corrections: Digipak Template

After my feedback from my teacher I was told to implement a few other features in my template digipak, I have completed these. I am yet to create my lyric book but that will be posted shortly.

I have flipped the text on the spine so it is facing the right way. I have put a record label logo on the spine and also a catalogue number. Also i have made the borders on the front and back of the digipak exactly the same.


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.
