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.

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.

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.

Copyright Laws

We are on our christmas holiday now, how excited. My birthday is coming up soon double presents for me yay!

So, I was wondering that our music has not received permission from Vibe Squad yet to use their song in my Media A2 Project, I am really worried about it, I have faith that they will accept or just ignore us. I know it sounds ridiculous but I pray that they will accept us I do not want our video to be removed from Youtube. I shared E.M.V promo music video on Twitter, Facebook, and via Whatsapp. I was about to tweet '@ Vibesquad ' but I was thinking no way what if they see the video and charge us for copyright. Hopefully they reply to Marvellous' email during the new year. If they don't reply does that mean we have to remove the video off Youtube. I will research and ask my Media Mentor about it after the Christmas Holiday.
