Promotion

We made a poster and posted it on Facebook in order to promote our product and create hype for it.
This was edited in Adobe Photoshop CS6 by simply adjusting its contrast and adding text to it.The reason we chose this picture was its intense and dramatic look and since audiences are attracted more to something that creates a suspense and curiosity that is why we chose this for our poster.

Ancillary Task: Digipak(Final)

When we made this digipak our teacher pointed out some mistakes in this and hence we were asked to make some changes in the digipak. Firstly the names of the members and actors had to be removed and we were asked to add the name of the song as well as our artist to it. Furthermore we were also asked to add the duration of the song along with the name of the song.
Hence after making these changes as you can see in the picture, i transferred the rights from the inside to the back of our digipak and changed the place of the barcode by placing it in the lower left corner as now there was space available there.

 Final Digipak

Ancillary Task: Digipak

 After the website was done we started working on the digipak. We made sure that the theme of the website, digipak and the music video compliment one another and all these things could get linked to the life of our artist.

 We started with downloading the template for the digipak 1st.

We chose this picture for the inside of the digipak and edited it in Adobe Photoshop by simply going to the adjustments and then black and white. After the picture was made black and white we made some further adjustments by reducing the percentage of red, green and yellow to make it look darker and intense.

 After the picture was edited we selected the picture and then copied it. After that we opened the template and pasted it into it by simply going to the option of edit, and then paste special and then selecting paste into. We then adjusted the picture into the template. For making the hole inside the CD we simply chose rectangle tool and then selecting elliptical marquee tool. And then making a circle inside the CD we just deleted that part of the picture.

For the front outside we chose this picture and edited it simply by just adjusting its brightness and contrast.

 We then followed the same procedure as we did for the previous picture, pasted it into the template and then adjusted it. As this was the front of the digipak we added the title of the song to it. The picture, style of the text and color was inspired by Lana Del Rey's "BORN TO DIE".

This was the picture we chose for the back outside of our digipak. We merged two pictures into one. The picture of our female actress being portrayed as the visual representation of the boy's happiness and the object that represents her presence that is the windchime.

Same procedure was followed for this picture as well. Copied and pasted and then adjusted. Then we added the names of our members and actors to the back. 

 This was the last picture we chose for the inside left of our digipak. I edited this picture in Photoshop by simply adjusting the colors with Color Balance and adjusting the contrast of it. Followed the same procedure again. Copied, pasted and then adjusted it.Furthermore I also added the conventional all rights reserved to the right side vertically written with white text as it was matching the overall theme as well as it was standing out on the picture and was visible.

In the end we just added the conventional bar code and DVD logo to it. The reason why i chose to add the bar code to the top right is that there was space there and in my opinion it looked the best there rather the lower left. Furthermore the reason why I pasted the DVD logo to the top centre rather than the conventional lower centre is that there was some negative space at the top and as I had added the signature of our artist in the lower center of our digipak I wanted the emphasis to be completely on the name of our artist.
