Final magazine advert finished

Although like the Digipak I had already made changes to the advert, I once again recieved more feedback following these changes been made. From the second lot of feedback there were two changes made as a result. Firstly, it was felt that the title 'example' did not look correct as a result of the change and therefore I decided to simply change it back to what it was before as this seemed to fit in better with the overall appearance of the advert. Secondly, instead of having the 'parental advisory' logo in the bottom left hand corner, I was advised to get rid of this and instead replace it with the front cover of my digipak. I feel that this is much more effective and means that the audience can visually see the CD on the advert, so if they wish to buy it, they know what they are looking for.

Final Digipak finished

After making changes to again, I went on to receive more feedback about that version. Following this, there were some other changes that I made. The first change was to change the font used on the section of the digipak where the song lyrics are on top of the photo. It was felt that the previous font did not fit in with the rest of the digipak. After changing the font, I now feel that this is not the case and has improved the appearance dramatically and made it look much more professional. The other change that I made was to add some text in the background of the 'scrapbook' part of the digipak. This change was simply made due to the fact that the background was a bit to plain and needed something adding to it. Once again, I feel that this change has improved this section of the digipak and has improved the overall appearance to give it a more professional finish.

Digipak changed following feedback

This is the digipak following feedback I recieved. There are numerous things that I have changed compared to the previous version. Firstly, I have changed the section of the digipak that includes the 'Parental Advisory' logo. Rather than this section of the didgipak just including the plain logo, I have manipulated the image to give it a blurred effect. Furthermore, I have also added a background so that the logo merges into it. As a result of the changes, this section now appears much more proffessional and is much more visually appealing. Secondly, I have changed the section of the digipak where the CD is placed. I have once again manipulated the image in more depth to make it more interseting and more unusual.

Magazine Advert Changed following feedback

Following on from feedback I recieved, I changed the previous version of my magazine advert. The first change I made was to add an effect to the photograph. This simply added another feature to the advert and made it appear more proffessional. Secondly, I changed the title 'Example' by adding a blurred effect.

Magazine Advertisment, First Version

Here is the first version of my magazine advertisment. Once again, I have tryed to follow some of the conventions of my genre such as using the black and white colour scheme. In order to ensure that the magazine advert looks as proffessional as possible, I have looked at a number of existing magazine adverts and the way in which they are presented so that it is as effective as possible. I have used Adobe Fireworks to manipulate the image and change the brightness and contrast, as well as to create the text with effects such as the glow. All in all, I am happy with the magazine advert and feel that if included in a real magazine, would appeal to the target audience.

First version of Digipak

Here is the first completed version of my Digipak. I have tryed to use the conventions from my genre, such as working with the actual CD cover to the album, as well as choosing to use the black and white colour scheme, commonly associated with the artist. I have manipulated the images by changing the brightness and contrast, editing them to produce a 'ripped' effect etc. All of the material used on the Digipak is purely my own and has been created from scratch.
