New Digipak

This is the first digipak I have finished. I think there are some things i need to improve, such as I want to add more polaroid photos to make an actual collage. The font is hard to read on the track listing and the title as its overlapping. I am going to experiment and try out other fonts and other ways of presenting this font so its more clear. 

This is the finalised Digipak. However, I have not changed the font which I am going to do next and see which one works out better. 

Feedback from First Digipak presentation

This is all the Feedback which I have copied on one piece of paper. I am currently working on the Elements which need improving. I have also made small changes into things such as swap some of the images round. I have also made a new CD design which is plain matte black with the bands name on it. Also I think the front and back cover work very well together as on the front cover the band is looking at the camera and the back cover you can see the backs of the band members.

Digipak so far :

This is my first draft of my Digipak. After i presented it to the class i got some feedback about the brightness of some of the photos which i should increase.  I need to add the credits as well as have spines. My top 3 panels should be upside down for the whole thing to work as a digipak. Also i should think about my CD design. Someone also picked up that one photo per panel is too simple as I have a lot of other photos which are very successful and I should maybe use some more.

Some of the things the class liked were:
-the photography
-house style
-logo
-typography
-costume as it suits the genre very well
-cinematography

To do list:

I have made myself a " To do: " list so I can keep myself organised and make sure i do everything and not miss anything out. Also this helps me arrange my time better and helps me get on with everything I have to do in order to be up to date as I am behind due to the reason of being in a group and then splitting up and having to do everything again. However, I have managed to catch up quite a lot. To make sure I am up to date I need to put more effort and work more in my free time.

new Brief

This is my new brief. I have made some changes so it suits the sub genre of rock which is indie. This is a lot more like my band now and it gives people the right idea of what kind of band i have created. 

new Audience Profile

 This is my Audience Profile. The changes I have made is so my band and idea are more clear to the audience as the previous one was a bit confusing as I said I am looking into the genre of Alternative rock but the bands influences were bands like Metallica and ACDC which is hard rock. I after I have done my research into more depth, I realised that my band should be and Indie rock band due to the song they're paying as well as the way they dress and their influences. For example, the band Blue Suits, Black Ties is very similar to bands like "The Strokes", " Two door cinema club" and other indie bands. 

Indie Rock

This is another power point I have done for my research into the genre of indie rock. After I researched into both indie and alternative rock I realised that indie rock is more suitable for my band. This is because of my song choice as well as the appearance I have chose for my band.

I have looked at four similar bands which are " Kings of Leon", " Bastille" , " The Strokes" and "Two door Cinema Club". They are all indie bands which are quite modern and are formed around the 2000's. They all look like what I want my band to look like. This is why they're my inspiration.

Furthermore, I also like their album covers. This is because they're using something different other than just a photo of the band. This means they are advertising their music not themselves.
