Final Inside of the Digipak

This is my final inside of the Digipak. My target audience said that I should've used a different font for the thank you note as it was quite hard to read. I wanted a font that looked liked the text had been hand written.

Final Digipak Cover and Back

This is my final cover and back. Once it was completed, I asked people what they thought of it and I didn't get any negative feedback. However, I got suggestions on which photos I could've used instead of my chosen ones.

What have you learnt from your audience feedback?

I've personally learnt a lot about audience feedback. It really opens your eyes and makes you realise that what you think looks good doesn't necessarily look good to or appeal to the target audience. This is something that our group had to be aware of a lot during the production of our video.

This video explains some of the things that I've learnt and have realised about the importance of feedback.

Differences - Plan to Final (Website)

The website wasn't too different to the plan that I had initially made. I had the same sort of idea and used similar images, however they're in a different position than I had planned. I personally prefer how it turned out as I think it looks more professional and suits the genre more.

Differences - Plan to Final (Inside the Digipak)

Out of all of the products that I had planned, this is the one that turned out the most different. I decided to stick with the close up shot that I had planned but I decided just to use that for the cd disk as I believe that it looked better. Even though the thank you note is in a different place, I used a similar font and used the exact same words as they were simple and straight forward but gave the message out that I had intended.

Differences - Plan to Final (Digipak Cover and Back)

My final product came out quite a bit different to what I had initially planned. A lot of his was due to the photos that I took. I felt that I took some photos that were too good not to use, therefore I replaced them with photos that I preferred and believed would suit the digipak more.

I used a similar font to what  had planned but the layout of the font is different; where it is placed and the spacing in between words. I also decided not to include numbers on the back alongside the track list.

Blogging Health Check 3

My Blogging Health Check 3 feedback was quite positive and is encouraging as I am almost where I want to be. However, I need to push further to complete my targets as well as try to improve my blogs as a whole to achieve a higher mark.

Survey - Work feedback

In order to get more feedback on my work, I decided to create a survey using SurveyMonkey. Once I created the survey, I distributed it to people in the target audience.

These are the questions that I asked:

The responses that I got were quite mixed. However, the constructive criticism that I received was very helpful and will push me to improve my work and take those comments on board. The results also has shown me that the target audience are able to spot and take into account my use of synergy throughout my work.

Website Homepage Draft

 This is my draft for the website homepage. The feedback that I got was to include more on the page; such as the video, photos, store and tour. This will enable to gain more marks.

Editing photos for my website!

I decided that because it was a convention of the acoustic genre to use black and white, I wanted to incorporate that in my photos. However, I wanted to keep some of them with full colour as I didn't want to completely over do it. In the video above, you can see my progress and how I edited them.

Website Progress

During this video, you can see my progress and how I started to put together my website for the artist.  Here,  I chose a template, uploaded photos and worked on 3 pages of the website.

Progress on the inside of the Digipack

I was liking how my Digipack was looking on the inside, however there was a lot of space on the inside panel so I decided to add another photo of the artist.




In the video, you can see how I've cropped and edited a photo, putting in place, as well as changing the colour and transparency in order to stay with the genre conventions and to match the work that I have already produced.

Digipak Inside Draft

This is the inside of my Digipak at the current moment. The feedback from the teachers that I got was to have a look at current Digipaks. What I found is that I needed to add the legal information and the record label's logo to the actual disk. This is a target for improvement. Other than that, they liked the look of my draft.

Digipak Front and Back Draft

I got feedback from my teacher and the only criticism that she gave me was to decrease the size of the record label's logo on the spine of the Digipak. 

Before I got to this stage, I got feedback that the artist's name wasn't blended into the background; it didn't look right so I decided to add shading around the name. 

Photoshoot with the artist

These are the photos that I took to use in my ancillary work; the digipak and the website. When taking these photos, I had my designs in mind and took photographs that I thought were relevant for me.
