How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stage?

Weebly- Question Four

What have you learned from your audience feedback?

click the podcasts to listen to my evaluation below unfortunately due to my two podcasts reaching the limit of publishing podcasts for a day on podbean I will post the remaining four podcasts tomorrow on blogger, First I will try on podbean tomorrow if it does not work I will post the rest on Podomatic or directly embed it on my blog. I had to use podomatic in addition to podbean because my limit on podbean exceeded yesterday. (http://www.podomatic.com/profile/vivianbrown-esumai) (http://vivianbrownesumai.podbean.com/)

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.

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. 

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.
