Planning (Ancillary) - Photos that you plan to use on your digipak and advertisement

Here is a few images in which I have chosen to use for the digipak and advertisement. There were a number of different reasons as to why I chose these images by the Canal. Firstly the images taken by the canal have the best lighting as Highgate and the media studio were very dark and dull. Secondly the necklace (synergy) is shown clearly in these images and so the audience have a better insight to it. Additionally the artist is shown clearly also, as these images are quite close up. Furthermore the images taken by the canal are of the best quality compared to the other three locations and finally the main reason is because the music video starts with the necklace and the scene in the canal so it would fit perfectly.

Planning (Ancillary) - Practice digipak

In todays lesson, we were set a task to create a practice digipak. This was to prepare us for the real digipak we would be creating (soon). We were provided with some pictures, however these pictures were of bad quality and also pixelated. I created a name for the artist and an album name which was added at the front of the digipak and spine. I added in a track list at the back of the digipak along with  a logo of the record company, some copyright information, a barcode and a category number. Here is the outside (front and back) panel for the digipak I created.

Unfortunately I ran out of time to create the inside of the digipack :( This however will help me when creating the real digipack as I know I have to be more aware of the timings. Overall I am happy with what I created considering how terrible the pictures, we were given, were and I also think this has been good practice for me, as it will help to create the real digipack for "Aphrodite".
