Note - Feel free to leave feedback on what you think of my poster and digipak.
This is my final digipak I have drastically changed my idea from the first draft following feedback that was given to me by my teachers. The idea behind it is that its set out like a day after a banquet, I wanted to get a different abstract picture of the setting instead of a normal picture. I used a Nikon SLR to take photos with long exposure which means more light would be present in the image. I also slightly moved the camera so that a blurred effect would happen. This gives the narrative that its from a drunken persons eyes on what they are looking at. I've tried to keep the digipak as simple as possible which I think has made it turn out quite effective. I had to change the idea for what I was doing for the 3 inside panel due to me unable to capture the shot I was planning to use. What I intended to do was a close up shot of a beer glass with it focused on the residue on the inside to illustrate it has just been drunk. The shots I took however did not turn out that well so I scrapped that Idea.
My poster also uses the main image which has turned out quite well I thought. Information such as where you can buy it (shown by the Itunes logo and HMV logo) and the release date of the album are clearly shown to make it as effective as possible. It follows the rules of thirds with each section split up into 3 different parts. So I have made sure it follows the layout of existing posters.
Tom. There are still some balancing issues here. The track listings still need work as it just doesn't look right.
ReplyDeleteThe poster is nearly there but the positioning of LO! is too high and the hmv and itunes don't look as though as they are in the correct place as everything else is very central.
I'd also be tempted to do a second version of the digipak which features LO! on the cover.
