Evaluating Music Video Feedback
Evaluating Magazine Advert Feedback
Images - The general comments here are that the images had good lighting and variety of shots but there were too many close ups used. I agree with these comments and would take them on board if I were to produce the magazine advert again.
Location - The general comments on the location of the images on the magazine advert is that it is not very obvious and can be considered a positive as well as a negative. I agree with these comments and if I were to produce the magazine advert again then I would pick another location that better fitted with the album.
Colours - The general comments here are that the colours are effective as they link with the digipak. This shows that the colours are effective as it shows that there is a link between the digipak and the magazine that work to promote the album.
Font - The general comments here are that I could have used a bit more variety in the fonts used but that the font creates a link between the magazine advert and the digipak as I used the same font on both. I do believe that I could have used another font on the magazine advert, however, they the link between the digipak and the magazine advert would have been weakened.
Evaluating Digipak Feedback
Images - The general comments here are that the lighting and shots are effective however there needs to be a wider variety shots to make the digipak more engaging. I agree with these comments as it appears that I have used too many close ups. Using other shots would have made the digipak more engaging with the target audience.
Editing of images - The general comments here are the Photoshop skills that have been shown are good however they maybe need refining. I agree with this and if I were to work with Photoshop again, I would have watched some videos online that would have furthered my Photoshop skills.
Colours - The general comments here are that the blue of the digipak is engaging, but, the grey in comparison is boring. I agree with these comments and if I were to produce this digipak again, then I would continue the theme of blue all the way through to make it more engaging to the target audience.
Font - The general comments here are that the font needed to be larger to make the album stand out and that there needs to be a wider variety of fonts used. This would make the digipak even better and I agree with this as it would make the digipak more engaging to the audience.

Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 6 - Back Cover
This panel is the back cover of the digipak. It shows the track listing of the album as well as the logos of the record company that I have created myself specifically for this task. The back cover also shows a barcode and some credits.
Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 5 - Left Cover
This panel of the digipak shows the other left cover. It displays a cloud background with a close up of a guitar over the top of it. The background of the close up of the guitar has been removed by photoshop.
Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 4 - Left Cover
This panel of the digipak is the first of the left covers. Much like the inside cover, it shows a photograph of a guitar and a notebook. On the notebook, other lyrics from the songs on the album are present.
Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 3 - Back Inside
This panel shows what the back inside cover of the digipak will look like. On this panel, there is a close up shot of a guitar and over the top of it, a black outline. This outline shows where the disc will sit in the digipak.
Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 2 - Cover Inside
This panel shows what the cover inside of the digipak will look like. This panel shows a picture of a guitar and a notebook. On the notebook, there is a lyric from each of the songs on the album. I chose to put the lyrics in a font which make it seem like they are actually written onto the paper and not just typed on the top of it.
Final Draft of Digipak - Panel 1 - Front Cover (and Spine)
This is the front cover of the digipak with a spine added onto the side of it. This panel of the digipak shows the name of the album and the name of the aritst. The picture on the front of the digipak is two hands reaching for each other, which shows the theme of the album clearly. These two pictures of hands were taken separately but then edited on Adobe Photoshop to make it look like the hands were reaching for each other.
Final Draft of Magazine Advert
Below is the final magazine advert that I have produced for the album 'In Case You Didn't Know' by Olly Murs.
When producing the final draft of the magazine advert, I followed the feedback that I gave myself for the second draft of the magazine advert. This final draft has examples of social media sites where the artist of the album can be found. The social media sites that I have included on my magazine advert have logos that have been created by me, specifically for this task.
The final draft of the magazine advert also includes more images that what were used on the first two drafts of the magazine advert. These images include different angles of the guitar.
Also, a new font has been included on the final draft of the magazine advert. This font is called 'Hello Casual' and is from the website www.dafont.com.
