Magazine Advert

Here is our draft magazine advert, we have used a corroded effect on the back so that it gives it the rocky feel. the blue and pink is a contrast and makes it feminine whilst linking with the artists outfit. the " album out now' stands out as this is supposed to be the advert not the cover therefore we kept the writing to a limit. 

Instead of the 'out now' being directly underneath the album name we have put it at the bottom and made it bigger so that it draw attention to the viewer when they turn the page. This in turn will show them that there is a new album out....

Personally i think that the pink is too bright and pop rather than rock, however we could always change this in the final advert. 

FINISHED DIGIPAK

This is our final digi pak ! Here is the front, back, and inside.

FINISHED- back cover

This is the finished back cover, there are some added features, one of which is the details about the record company on the bottom. We have added the same style album title as the front as we wanted that to be the main focus, the font for the track listings is the same as the album name as we thought it was very edgy yet simple. we thought that the simpler we kept the fonts the better it would be. 

Underneath the track listings, we have included all of the producers and mixers, as this is what is included on most of our research such as the back of Avril Lavignes album they too have put the producers of the album. We have also included a few websites that we think will be good for the 'fans' of the album to go on.

Back Cover

This is the original image we decided that would go on the back of the album cover, we chose this as we thought that her facial expressions and her posture was good. We Feel that her expression and mood has a lot of attitude in it and therefore also goes with the genre of our music.

This is what we have done to the back so far, we have added a black strip down the side so that it looks like the spine of the cover. On there is the artists, name, album name and the record company name. again as for the front, we have enhanced the image to make it look sharp and blended it so that it has a softer feel on the edges. we have also darkened her hair to go with our genre. We have centre aligned the song names and added the minutes next to them. This is because we think that the shape look much better and adds shape to the back. In the bottom right hand corner we have added a barcode, as when we did our research we saw that most digipak covers have a barcode on them. 

Again the same colours and fonts that are on the front are on the back as we didn't want to over complicate things and use too many effects and fonts otherwise it would look messy and dis-organized. 

 There is still the swirls to add which will be grouped and then copied on to the back as it would make it look identical to the title on the front.

The Back of this album is very simple, the ringed writing is extremely small, however once enlarged  we can see that it is all about copy right protection against the album, artist and the record company. The last two icons where placed there by myself to see what it would look like. However we didn't put these on ours as we couldn't place them correctly. Like the back of this cover everything on ours link for example the colours all tie in together.  

Front Cover

This is the front cover for our Digi pak... we began with some earthy colours, which we thought would look good with the tone of her hair.... We then played around with some fonts, and placed them in certain positions we thought would look appropriate....

After a discussion, we thought that it might be better to try a black and white background as it will make our artist stand out more. We have Made a few added changes for example darkening her hair,  also sharpening up her picture and getting rid of any blemishes to her skin. To make the album name stand out more we made the colour of her name completely different to that of the the album name. This is because the name is what gets recognized first, After which we added some stars and swirls around it to finish the name off and make it look pretty yet edgy....

Judging by what we can see, we feel that the first image is very plain and not eye catching enough and the second one is much more of how we wanted our album cover to look...

Here we have compared our Album cover to those of kelly Clarkson so show possible similarities and differences ....
