Designing The Front Cover 

We have started to create and design the front cover of the CD digipak, the blank spaces will be photographs, when we get the photographs done we will adjust the images according to it the right position. The margins are there so it text or images will not overlap and they are precisely fixed. If it does overlap I think I should direct the models to stretch their arms not to far and the photographer (Marvellous) instead of her taking a long shot she will need to take a wide mid shot without zooming in so the two male models arms will not be cut off. 

Our photoshoot is later on today during the afternoon...

Print Product Call Sheet 2

All three models should bring black shirts and both male artists should also bring white shirts.
I need one of my colleague to contact the female model to come early to get her make up done and dressed at 12:00pm. 

Insert for the Digipak

We used this template for the insert of the CD digi packaging, we changed the layout to 6 inserts  like the Fuse ODG album insert.  This means we do not need to take surplus photography for 12 inserts because there is not enough time as our deadline is soon approaching.

On the left insert is DROP  lyrics, once we take me photographs we can complete the CD digi packaging.

Our deadline for producing the post-production is next week Monday so we need to book a time for Friday that will fit our models schedule.

Digipak and Advert Update!

Editing and Designing

When we were designing in photoshop we faced some problems while creating the pages, Once Elma had put in the measurements from the template and started adding pictures, when she zoomed in everything looked blurry, out of focus, the resolution looked very poor. 

Elma and I went to speak to a media technician to see how to ask what the problem was if it was the measurements or the quality of the pictures. We were told that it the resolution was on 90 and it should be on 300!

300! That's really high I am still shocked, now we have high resolution and good photography for our advert.  

We added the colours from the previous team discussion  and also more detail to the advert. Including a higher  resolution on  photoshop.

Digipak back cover 

The Spine is simple with the black background, yellow and red font.

We will be getting some audience feedback tomorrow. In the meantime we will need to book the studio for more photographs for our front cover and  inserts. However we need to make sure that our time fits our models timetable schedules.

Digipak and Advert Designing

Today we started to design the insert, spine and editing the advert from landscape to portrait to follow the conventions of music adverts. 

Editing advert on photoshop 

I feel perhaps there is something else missing like vital information about the single DROP, it looks bland, I think that we should use the colours from the colourful costume -  green, yellow, orange, red to make it stand out. Hopefully we all agree on the changes to make it look eye catching.

Ideas for Digipak

Currently we are planning and discussing the ideas for our digipak below are some photographs of the plan and ideas. I thought it would be a good idea to make a visual plan with paper for how we want our CD, and insert would look like. It was very helpful, as from this we were able to create a mock up which will be effective and efficient before the shoot and after.  These ideas may change as it depends on how much photographs we take. We decided to have a 12-page insert which will include mostly good photography, the next photoshoot will be on Monday depending on our model's schedule.

Post Production

Music Magazine Advert 

Today we started editing our photography for the music magazine advert. The page will be portrait so it will fit the coventions of music magazine adverts from my case studies Keri Hilson and Waje. In addition we have started to design and fit in eye catching detail! 

Tomorrow EMV productions will have a meeting to have another look and opinions on the advert then we will plan our CD Digipak.
