Finished Digipak and Advert

Posting the Band Advert on Twitter

I felt as if I hadn't posted anything on the band twitter page in a while so I decided to upload the final advert onto the account. This is a print screen of what the post appear as on twitter.

Also, to make it more authentic I have tagged each of the band members individual twitter accounts, this makes it seem more realistic because a famous band would do this to promote the individual accounts. But in reality I have just done it so the lads have a solid copy of it sent to them. 

Digipak & Advert Feedback

I had members of my class openly view my digipak and advert and this is the feedback that I received:

Jack listed: - Good professional photos

                  - Realistic Reviews

                  - Modern advertising

                  - Nice theme

                  - Cool Font

                  - Better cutting out needed

                  - Move font on disc

Vish wrote: "The digipak looks like a whole package. Black and white works well and is simplistic."

An Un-Named person: "Good use of font and text layout. Definite grayscale theme. Edges need smoothing on advert models - looks jagged."

Digipak & Advert Feedback

The first feedback point was regarding my digipak that I had posted it the wrong way around and that when it came to my final digipak that it needs flipping.

Also, my teacher noted that she believes there is some confusion with the images over the genre of the band. Stating that the image with the 4 way cut of there faces looks more like a pop music album making them more like a boy band and the bottom left image that I used of the singer of Bombay Bicycle Club with the guitar looks like a full on rock album which makes a contrast.

Next, they noted that I should remove the beige colour and simply make the album black and white which to be honest I agree with.

Overall, my teachers awarded it 5/10 making it a high level 2

In regards to my advert, my teachers said they liked the idea behind the images of the band and that it had good potential.

However, they did criticise the sizes used for the texts bellow the mage and said that I need to reconsider and look at making them more to scale and try incorporate the rule of thirds more.

Overall, my teachers awarded my advert 5/10 which also makes it a high level 2

Possible Colour Palettes for Digipak/Advert

Colour palette 1 was my first idea probably because out of my 3 designs it is the simplest design and the 3 colours match the best which could be considered to be a good thing from making a clear idea by using well known matching colours, but could be a bad idea because this could make my digipak plain and not have anything interesting about it. Overall, I still think colour palette one could be used successfully.

Colour palette 2 was a bit of a random choice spurring from my idea that I could involve like a beige colour qaswell as black and white. I like this idea because I think it would be quite unique since these colouurs would not obviously go together.

I decided on the colours for colour palette 3 because I wanted to have at least one abstract idea with the colours so choosing a bold red and blue would have this effect. I think this idea could work but out of the 3 colour palettes I think this would need the clearest concept. Also, if i was to use this colour scheme I would consider swirching the red for pink but I am unsure whether this would fit in with the genre of my band.
