Rough Copy Of DigiPak Layout

In my digipak layout i have written down in each panel what i would like to include such as colours , pictures and also textual analysis. I have chosen to use the colours blue and green ( a dark and bright colour) because we have chosen our artist to break the grime stereotype. Dark colours are often associated with grime which is why i have chosen to use the colour black. I then chose to combine the blue colour to show a more pop effect which shows that our artist is versatile.

I have also provided a panel which has a textual analysis to give dedication to the others and to the people that have helped the artist become successful.

Below is a preview of what may be on the front cover of the albulm/ digipak .

Images of Myself Working in a Media Lesson

Here is an image of me working in a media lessons. I am working on my blog works and making sure that my checklist is finished.

At this stage of my media journey my group has finished the story boards and are getting prepared to start filming our schedule.

Another picture of me checking that everything is completed on the checklist.

Other Ideas Of Images

These are random shots of other ideas we thought the image of our artist in the video could look like.

Album Covers and Digi-Paks

Digipacks are a type of CD packaging made out of card stock or other heavy paper/cardboard material. Digipacks can flip open like a book, or it can have three parts, so that one portion of the packaging opens to the right and one to the left, with the CD in the center portion. Usually, the portion of the digipack that hold the CD is made of plastic like a traditional jewel case CD - the plastic part is simply attached to the paper background.

What makes an Effective Digipack?

• Color schemes and pictures throughout the CD cover
• Pictures that also link with the band or either the genre

Digipacks have pros and cons:

• They look nice, and many bands and labels like to use them for aesthetic reasons. The three section digipack sleeves opens up more design options because there is more room. However, they're more expensive than traditional liner notes and jewel cases.

  
  

• Digipacks don't crack like jewel cases do, but they will rip and eventually the paper begins to peel apart and separate.

  
  

• The trays in digipacks break much more often then in jewel cases. There's not as much protection since the outer portion of made of paper, so the teeth that hold the CD in place crack and fall out easily.

  
  

• When the teeth of the tray does break in a digipack, the CD falls out of the bottom of the digipack, because unlike jewel cases, there is nothing to hold it in.

  
  

• Digipacks can be more environmentally friendly than jewel cases because they can be made of recycled paper - however, they aren't always in fact made in this way.

The reason why i have a picture of Wiz Khalifa here is to show that some digi-packs can look like a jewel cased CD but they flip out in a different way. Also this specific wiz khalifa album is made out of paper which is quite deceiving looking at the image. Another thing that is very clever about what Wiz Khalifa has done is that the Long Tattoo that is covering his arms are called 'Sleeves' his then links back to the description of the digi pack 'the three section digipack 'sleeves' opens up more design options because there is more room. This is why on 1 of the open up sleeves he has a picture of his hands showing the tattoo.

Lists of Props, Costumes, Make-up and equipment.

We have decided for our performer to look like a 'Grime Thug' but also have that mature attire so it breaks the stereotypical grime industry look :

A costume that he might appear to wear in the video is a black cardigan to imply that he is update with the fashion and to also give him that youthfull look to show that he is an up and coming artist.

The picture below is a medium close up shot of his upper body attire.This is the general look that he would be wearing and how he would be posistioned in a frame of the music video.

This Gucci belt is a sign of wealth and just for fashion to show to the audience that he is wealthy and even though he is a new artist he is not

These are a pair of ralph lauren shoes that the artist may consider wearing in the video. Ralph lauren is also another well known expensive make which shows wealth and also a youthful fashion sense portraying that he is young artist.
