CD Pack and CD Sticker: First Drafts

This is the first draft of my CD Case Cover.

I made use of my creative skills in Adobe Photoshop.

I used the selection tool to select the parts of the images we took.

I then softened the edges so they look clearer and more attractive, if the edges were sharp then they would not seem very pleasing to the eye.

I made use of text and operated the blending options to make the images more interesting, such as adding an outer glow, I also added a drop shadow to make the pack seem more attractive to the audience.

This is the sticker I plan to use for the CD itself.
I got a real CD to aid me in the positioning of everything (since there is a hole in the centre).

I cut it out a soft copy to see how it would look, the hole would appear between my chin and zip.
I got and measured the CD myself and ended up with 12 x 12.

This is just a draft, I still plan to add more to my pack to make it seem more attractive.

These three images consist of the actual Digi - pack put together by me.














This is just a draft, I plan to create more case covers and I will select one in the end.

CD and Advert Photoshoot

Today we took numerous pictures for our CD Digipack.
We took pictures at different angles and in different locations.

We took a few pictures using this angle, inspired by: "The 15th Day."

We took a similar approach using the wall as an attractive background.

We took a few pictures using this angle as well to show our creativity. Again using the brick background inspired by J Hus.





We also took other numerous pictures for use in our magazine advert and CD Digi - Pack.

Magazine Advert Sketch 2

Shots Sizes.

I plan to use a medium close up for the image which I plan to use for the advert. This would be a good shot to use so that the audience can see the costume and the facial expressions of the actor on the page.

For this idea I plan to make the title a bit more creative with the use of shapes (mainly arrows) which will appear as attractive to the audience and would be more attractive instead of using a simple blunt edge font. We pan to do the same thing with the police tape as the previous idea but only with the date of release. Police tape is used in reality to cut off important areas, we applied this concept to the key information displayed which is the date.

Other Features:

Similar to the previous sketch, we plan to feature a parental advisory logo to warn parents and guardians that the content in the song is deemed explicit for younger audiences and they sould be monitored when listening to it.

Unlike the previous sketch, I plan to feature some reviews from music stations, for this one I have planned to use BBC Radio as a reviewer. Also I have featured some reviews from J Hus to make it look more like a magazine advert.

Lastly like the previous post, I plan to feature the platforms or apps which this song will be available on such as: Deezer, Spotify, Google Play and iTunes.

Magazine Advert Sketch 1

Sketch 1:

For this sketch I planned to make it creative by adding the police tape across the cover and putting the title of our song on it.
We did the same thing with the police tape when it came to the release date, in explanation police tape is used in reality to cut off important areas, we applied this concept to the key information displayed which is the date and the title.

Camera Shots and Sizes.

We plan to take a variety of pictures and select the one we want later. But our primary idea is to take a medium long shot so that the audience viewing it can see the characters facial expressions and costume.

I also plan to feature Tyreek on the cover wearing a mask which highlight the theme of betrayal (paigon). He will be placed on the lower right of the page, his shot will be a close up since the key feature of his character is the mask.

Other Features:

We plan to feature a 'Parental Advisory' logo to alert parents and guardians of the language and themes which may be deemed explicit for younger audiences,

We also plan to feature the various platforms or services that the track will be available on, such as Deezer, Spotify, iTunes and Google Play.
