Inside analysis


This is the completed inside of the digi-pack including an image of the band, a short biography of the band and the track listing of the live performance. I also included an image showing the way to the town centre as a reference to the biography and the bands original roots.


I then took a still from the video we recorded and edited it to integrate it into the background to make it look relevant and
 suited to the look of the digi-pack.



I then researched the band on the internet and wrote down some general information in the same font to keep the continuity.




I then wrote a track list for the live performance and included in on the inside next to the biography to finish the inside.

Back and side analysis


This is the completed back and side of the digi-pack featuring the barcode, small print, set list and name of the band and album. The red lines are used to mark where they would be folded to make
 the spine.






I began by putting the side on first to work out the dimensions and limitations of the sizes for the track listing. I put the lines in red to make them more noticeable and wrote the band and album names in block capitals because it makes them stand out more.






Upon completing the side I wrote in the track listing and song times, I wrote the track listing in the same font as the band name. This was done to relate to the front cover to continue the ghostly effect of the digi-pack.






I then inserted a barcode to make it appear more authentic and professional








I then added copyright information at the bottom to once again add to the authenticity of the product 







Magazine Advert Construction



  This is the final outcome of the magazine advert























The original idea was to 
have one big image in the centre of the advert, peoples eyes are drawn to the biggest image on the advert the first time they look at, therefore we decided to but one of the main points from the video as the biggest picture to be seen on the advert.









   
We needed to add the actual picture of the digi-pack front into the advert, therefore, it was fitting that this would not be the biggest picture to be seen and would be the smaller image, but n
ot too small, in the bottom left corner of the magazine advert.







After the three images had been inserted, we neeed to add a caption, and also a small explanatory paragraph detailing what was included in the set. The caption showed the words 'debut album out now' and also 'introducing'. Whilst the small paragraph did explain what was going to be included within the digi-pack. The addition of the amps record label was to to make the advert look more professional, we decided that it would look more trustable also.

Front Cover Analysis





Add ImageThese are the two completed external faces of the digi-pack. After realising that we needed to change the band member image to one of our own actors, we decided to take the shot of the main singer and use that as the front of the digi-pack. In order to make the digi-pack more professional we added a blue sticker including information about the digi-pack, also the smaller white writing on the back was included due to our efforts to add some sort of copyright and legal information.

This is the barcode added to give our product more realism and is placed with a ‘splat’ effect to relate more to the genre of the music.




We inserted this DVD sign to the bottom right corner to our front cover to show that that it is a DVD-CD digi-pack and to make it appear more professional.


This is the title of the band and CD name. I got the font from the Internet and used it because it would seem to in someway relate to fitting in with the genre, and by using a white font on a black background it appears ghostly.





I then produced and included this sticker as I researched other digi-packs and they tend to include a sticker advertising what is included to entice a possible consumer.
