Finals

My final main product (Music Video) -



My final first ancillary text (CD Digipak) -

My final second ancillary text (Magazine album advertisement) - 


fourth and final draft

This is the fourth and final draft of my CD Digipak for my ancillary text. The main difference between this and the last draft is the added record label logo at the top right of the back of the CD cover, and also the information usually found on the back of a CD Digipak such as; the formats, the record label, and the band websites so that the consumer can find more information about the artist as well as knowing the correct format which the CD Digipak can be played. This is the final draft so far until I find something needs to be changed, how I got up to this point can be found in the posts below.

Ancillary Text - CD Digipak

This is the first draft for my CD Digipak, the two spaces where the CD and the DVD which will feature my music video will be included into the two white spaces and will have a black background on the Left side and a plain white background on the right. The song list, including 10 songs which have been remixed to fit in with the one I have already done, will feature on the back cover and is yet to be done.

This is the second draft for my CD Digipak, this is more of a progression from the last draft than a new draft. This updated version includes text and the names of the song titles I want to include on my finished product. the text itself will change, concerning the font, size, colour and style. Also, the two spaces where the CD and DVD will be placed will not be left blank, soon it will have a black backdrop with spashes of bright white cast onto it to give it an artistic and graffiti style. The photographs |I have taken are used to illustrate the style of the music and appeal to the target audience, the reason I have chosen to get a formal looking dress with muddy walking boots is to show the coming together of two completely different styles which symbolises the music, as the music brings together the old style of music (orchestral etc) and remixes it to bring it into modern urban culture. this is then repeated through the second photograph, with joggers and high heels, and againb in the inverted photographs which symbolise that even when inverted (turned into it's opposite) the photograph still remains the same or at least still has an artistic quality. I also, need to design the colour and writing of the spine as well as the placement of the album name 'Obsession'.



This is the third draft for the CD Digipak which, again, is more of a progression from the last draft than a new one. The photographs have remained the same but I have made some big differences between the other drafts and the new one, for example the font on the text has changed dramatically making it easier to read and more appealing. Also, I have made a background for the CD and DVD holders of a pure black backdrop with wisps of white across it. To achieve this image I copied and image of ink in water from Google images and then edited it in Photoshop to create an inverted and pure black and white image. I have also created a simple black spine with the album name written in white letters 'Originality' to emphasize the point that the album does not need to use bright colours or massive letters to get itself know, originality and simplicity is best.

Ancillary text photographs

Here are the photographs I am going to use for my ancillary text and then underneath them are the photographs after they are going to be edited and are ready for the Digipak. I have also included two inverted photographs underneath the black and white edits so I have an option to include a slightly more alternative style, if there is room on the digipak.



 This is the photograph that will be used for the front cover of the digipak, once edited.


 This is the photograph that will be used for the back (reverse) of the digipak, once edited.

This is the photograph that is taken from the front cover of the digipak, inverted so that it can be put somewhere else on the digipak to give an alternative style.

Ancillary Pack update

I have decided to create a digipack as well as a Vinyl for the release of my imaginary album 'Originality'. This decision came about through the discovery of having to allow the release of the album to include a DVD in the package, as a vinyl LP Gate-fold would not be able to accommodate a DVD without it looking cheap and rushed I have decided that a 6 sided CD digipack is the best way to produce both the album and the accompanying DVD, which does include the music video created as the main media text in this assignment. The Vinyl will not be a part of the main ancillary text but will be used to show how the album will be released so that audiences can purchase the album in multiple formats. Both the digipack and the Vinyl will have the exact same cover art and because of this I will not need to design them separately.

Here is the template for the digipak:
