Construction of Digipak Drafts

For the same as the Advert we decided to produce a number of digipaks for drafts, the reason for this being is that we could see bad points and good points of the digipak which we are producing. Therefore taking consideration of what was good and bad about the drafts. Then as a result of this it would enable us to produce a better final digipak because we can see how to create a better final product.For the digipaks drafts th

e program which we decided to use was Microsoft Publisher. As the same as the advert we all agreed as a group that we found that Publisher is the easiest program to use to produce good quality final products.

Here are the screen shots from the editing and construction phase of making our digipak drafts.

As you can see from the screen shots the amount of effort and the qu

ality of are drafts were up to a good standard which made us feel extremely optimistic about our final digipak.

Images For Digipak

For the actual images of the digipak for a while we contemplated what photos we were going to use. One of the things we did not want to do was use images from the day of shooting because we wanted to have new and fresh images for the digipak front cover.

So for the pictures which we used for the whole of digipak was photos from an even

ing which we did a photo shoot, with a digital SLR camera and white back ground, with

numerous changes of outfit. Over the course of the evening we took a over 300 images, so this gave us a huge selection of images which we could use for our digipak.

Here are some of the print screen shots which I took of Iphoto where I put the images to organise them, as you can see that only two print screens of the photos and there was plenty more.

Editing Images

Obviously with taking the images from the photo shoot they are extremely boring because there is no editing put into them. So for the editing process we used two different programs

which were Apples Iphoto and Googles Picasa.

We used these in a variety of different ways to put specific effects on the images, we found these images very easy when trying to edit the images because they are very simple to use, but they are extremely effective what we are trying to achieve what we are trying to do.

Here are some of the print screens of editing on both of the programs which we used, we all found them equally effective when using them while editing the images.

What We Want to Achieve With Digipak

As a group we wanted to achieve 4 main point when creating the digipak.

The four point are below:

1. Realism: we want to make the digipak look professional to our most capably standard, so that we could actually compare it to professional products and measure them up for how effective they are on an audience.
2. Portrail of Artist: We want d to make sure that the artist is portrayed within a good way within the digipak, so that his audience could relate to him.
3. Standing Out: We want to make sure that digipak was eye catching so that if someone was in a shop it would standout and they would be inclined ti picking the album up because they are interested.
4. Theme Running Through Ancillary: As the same as the advert we wanted to be able to see a link between both the digipak and advert so they can see that they are clearly linked together.
