Producing Print Product Deadline!

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...

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.

Print Product Focus Group

Marvellous, Elma and I are presenting our research and planning of the print product. This pitch includes our case studies, 3 case studies each. Our photography inspirations, Font style,colour scheme and photoshop mock up. 
The focus group was effective because we were able to get our target audience opinions so we can tailor our print products to their taste but also to our case studies afrobeats genre.

Ancillary tasks - Planning and research digipak

This will help me with the structures and house style of my print products.
