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.

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.

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.

Post-Production Photography

 Bookings

I will book the studio for two or three days in December and January. First, I will ask Elma to contact the models to see what time they will be available on the last week before we break up for the Christmas Holiday. 

I hope that we all do not catch a flu, it is quite cold this November and everyone is getting ill. Please, models wrap up warm so you can be available when we call you for the post-production shoot.

Costumes & Jewellery

I have spoken to my colleagues about my ideas for costume, jewellery and makeup for the female model and they support the ideas, we decided that the two male models will wear the same shirts that they wore in the music video. Elma has to remind them to wash and iron it before the day of our photography shoot. 

We do not have a date for this yet, first we need to check when they will be available and also see what day the studio will suit my time table, and my teams schedules too.
