To make the digipack I used a website called 'Canva' to put all of the images and text together. After the focus group, I used their comments about the digipack to improve it and make sure it fit better with the genre and the other products. I decided to se a TV on the front cover instead of the skull because it fits...
Here's a screen recording of some of the changes that were made to the website just after the focus group: We talked as a group and decided on what needs to be changed slightly as a result of the feedback. ...
Before doing the actual focus group, Phil and I went to show some of my designs to Matt (a rock fan). Matt liked the skull design and though that it did fit with the band's image, however, he didn't like the colourful red/blue logo (as did Phil), so I changed it to black and white before the actual focus group. When talking to...
Having looked at album conventions for rock bands, I've had to change the front cover design a few times to make it fit better. here are some I've done so far (bearing in mind that not all of them are fully finished and that the band name changed): This one didn't really look like an album cover so was scrapped. This one was...
After trying out some different album cover designs, we're thinking of using a photo as the front cover so I've looked at some similar artists who use photos in their album. The photo is on a different panel on this one, but it it in black and white like the rest of the digipack, with high contrast an I think it fits really...
We looked at videos of two focus groups and determined wether they went well or went badly. the respondents were reflective of the target audience the sample is big enough but not too big that they overpower the product maker manages the feedback well, and was including people that may not have come forward quickly or loudly he also listened to what they...
Here are some more ideas I've come up with for the digipack design. This one looks a little bit boring because of all the straight lines, so it look quite plain ↓ ↑ I like the look of this one but it doesn't at all fit with the band's image I really like this one but the background is quite plain, and it's...
Phil has finished the performance cut and has almost finished the narrative cut, the only thing left is the colour grading and a final check to make sure it's perfect. I went to the editing suite every now and then to see what Phil had done so far and to see where to take it next. We're very happy with the result so...
It's probably best not to have just the singer on the front because it may cause upset with the 'band' if it were real, and the covers I've researched don't have the band on the front at all, probably for this reason. However, I'm following the conventions by putting the band name big and bold on the front of the album cover. ...
I went to HMV to look at the digipack conventions but found that the CDs were wrapped in plastic so I couldn't see the inside designs. Unfortunately, they didn't have all of the albums I was looking for, so I took photos from the internet for them. Royal Blood This is their first ever album There's no sign of the band even though...
Our group is looking at website conventions for the blues-rock genre, so we've chosen some similar bands and looked at their sites to get an idea of what ours should look like. Rival Sons http://www.rivalsons.com/ Content The logo is the first thing you see Their newest album is the next obvious thing that you see, and all of the links where you can...
On the afternoon before our shoot we set up the majority of our first set for the performance (drums, lights, amps, mic stand), and most of the lighting was set up then too, ready to start shooting at 9am the next day. I was really looking forward to getting started on our shoot day as all of our planning had built up to...
