My Digi Pack - CD Back (Draft!)

This is the draft to the back cover of my CD as part of my digi-pack. As you can see, the sizes are yet to be reconfigured and I will make some according changes to my final piece. Still, this will give you an impression of how it will turn out.

CD Front Cover Feedback.

This is some of the feedback I have been given regarding my newly created CD Front Cover. Unlike my poster, I have chosen a variety of people to comment on my CD Front cover, as my feelings have changed regarding people's insight into the workings of Media. I will split my feedback into non-Media Students and Media Students to show an overall, general view.




Media Students:


Rebecca: I really enjoy this CD cover and it links well with the poster. It seems much improved from the draft and I like the colour scheme, it makes an impact and stands out from average CD covers.


Jack: Like the poster, I enjoy the font and the way in which the words have been structured onto the CD cover. I feel this gives a random and unique feel to it.


Amy: Though this cover is very well created, it has silly mistakes within it. For example, the "A Guide To Love" seems to overshadow the love heart and looks unprofessional and disconnected from the rest of the poster. However, it's individual and well thought out.


Rachel: I enjoy the photographic element to this poster, feeling it creates a bigger feel of realism and it really compliments the "Indie" feel to this poster. This poster is different and seems a little fun!
Non Media Studies Students:
Megan: As a fan on Indie music, I enjoy this poster as I feel it pertains well to the "Indie" theme. The photograph is really professional looking yet I can't understand the relevance of the main character being on the London Underground.
Charlotte: The black and white background against the colour of the character and love heart creates an effective impact. I like the "grimy" feel to the font which is softened by the love heart, making it neutral yet effective.
Ben: Indie music is a favourite of mine and I really enjoy how this CD front cover compliments it. The black and white drowns out the background and allows the main character to leave a lasting impression on the audience of this CD Front cover. It seems to work well with the target audience of Indie music.
Lisa: I'm not a fan of Indie music, but I think this CD Front cover works well with the Indie genre. The love heart appeals to me as a female and I can definitely see the romantic aspect of the CD and in turn, probably the music.

My Digi Pack - CD Front Cover!

This is my finished front CD cover. The sizes have been changed significantly and each detail has been resized accordingly. Hope you enjoy! I will post me feedback later.

My Digi Pack - CD Front Draft

This is my CD front draft. As you can see, I haven't yet reconfigured the sizes to suit that of a CD, yet the theme still remains as to that on the poster to create uniformity and a recurring theme throughout my digi-pack.

Poster Feedback.

Here's some of the feedback I recieved regarding my newly created poster, those that I have asked are from my media class with this being the intent that I believe they will have a deeper insight into the works of Media than non Media Studies students;



Amy: I really like the colour scheme. The black and white set against a singular colour really bring out the emotions that are trying to be conveyed in this media project. Some little mistakes have been made such as some of the letters are cut short, though this seems easily eradicated.



Sarah: The font really appeals to me - though i've said this before - and I think it compliments the indie theme of the music video and song well. The love heart appeals to the female audience and makes the poster more appealing on the whole.




Ashleigh: I like how the original album title has been kept in order to create realism, and in that sense, it makes it quite professional. The black and white background works well with the red love heart but I think that might drown the character and his colouring a little.




Jack: There is something quirky I really like about this poster, though I can't point my finger to it. The font really appeals to me and makes it look slightly masculine, whilst the love heart adds a touch of romanticism.




Carla: Though the photo is professional looking and well shot, I cannot help but feel the person to whom is face up close drowns everything else out. However, the poster is certainly unique and compliments the Indie theme quite well. It does The Wombats and their music justice.




Lance: The photo is well shot and it looks extremely professional to have colour amongst black and white - a clever and unique colour scheme. Overall, this poster seems likeable and professional.

My Digi Pack - Poster!




This is the completed poster as part of my musical digi-pack. As you can see, I have made quite a few changes from the draft/"improvement needed" one, including creating a love heart for the comical romantic effect, and a border. However, my main element (the colour with black and white scheme) has stayed the same as it is detrimental to the theme of this poster. I will discuss this further in my evaluation!








My Digi Pack - Poster draft!

This is the draft for my poster that is part of my digi-pack. It is not finished yet and I will post the finished one when it is completed. Hope you enjoy!
