Work In Progress - Front Cover for Digipack

 The first draft for our digipack front cover is the top picture, we then decided to play around with the amount of lines of light that we could see on the front,  and after changing the look on our magazine advert I think that the lines would look better if they were slightly thinner in order to emphasise the aspect of the Fine Lines between holding on to something and moving on.
We carried on with the idea of the pink which has the connotations of romance as well as a connotation of being sweet and charming, and it's associated with flowers which represent new life.

Magazine ad - work in progress

This is our first draft of our magazine advert. We were trying to incorporate a gobos lighting effect into our advert, however, we struggled to get this done effectively.


What went well? - The original record label is incorporated nicely into the advert.
                            - The font fits well with the theme of the advert.
                         
Even better if? - The gobos lighting was incorporated better and worked well with the theme.
                        - The black box looks unnatural and doesn't fit the theme as its too harsh.
                        - If the font was perfectly central
                        - If the the whole title was readable. Currently half the title is behind the white background making it impossible to read.
                        - The font type is difficult to read and some letters overlap each other.
                        -  The iTunes label and the record label aren't aligned properly making the advert look unprofessional.

Magazine Ad draft

Digipack backcover

This is the first draft of the back cover of the digipac, we wanted to keep the fine lines concept as the main theme throughout the album, relating it to the title of fine lines. The soft lines in the image help to convey this. On the back cover we have the typical information expected of a magazine advert, helping us to stick to the codes and conventions of a typical digipac.

Work in progress - magazine advert

This is the progress of the magazine advert, we first started off working out how to add the gobo effect through editing as our original idea with the gobo was to be for the effect to be done through a stencil when taking the picture, this idea did not work so the decision was made to add the effect in the editing stage, this picture shows the first stages of the editing process for this effect. We wanted the theme of the digi pac to be continued in the magazine advert so we decided to stick with the same grey scale/ black and white. We also made sure we were including the codes and conventions that relates to a magazine advert this includes the reviews, record label, the artists name and the album title.

The second image shows an almost finished idea, we decided that the lines of the gobo were too big so we down sized them in order for them to fit with the title of fine lines, we also changed the contrast and the different adjusted the different colour tones in order to get the look and the tonnes of black and white that we thought best worked. We removed the black box as we didn't feel that it was appropriate for the magazine advert and plates around with the layout of the text. We made her signature of her name bigger so it was more dominant in the advert and made the magazine reviews come from different sources so that they were more appropriate for the genre and to make them fit with the codes and conventions of out magazine advert.

 

 

Work in progress - Digipack

This is the back of our digipack so far. I think that the song names reflect the genre and i also think they link with our concept of change and moving on. I also think that the background reflects the title of the album fine lines with the different uses of lines. To make sure that the colours fit with the colour scheme of blackened white the background will be edited to black and white with the pink possibly being colour isolated to show the breakthrough in realising change is good and for the better. The pink will represent the change.

Work in progress - magazine ad

This is our magazine advert for the album. Currently, we have only finished the record label which can be seen in the bottom right. We still have to add the main photo of the artist as well as change the fonts of the writing inside the box and lay it out correctly. We will be using a black and white theme for our magazine ad.
