Digipak planning & final

Unedited images for Digipak

Potential images for front cover:



I have chosen to use the left hand image for my front cover. This is because I feel the close up camera angel of the artists face is better suited as a front cover as the profile shot gives a clear representation of his image. This close up also appeals to audience as there is a feeling of knowing the artist from his direct address to the camera.







Drafts for front cover in colour & practicing
layering images in colour. 

This is my final front cover. I have chosen to keep it in colour instead of black and white as it much better represents my artist as someone who is happy and an open book to his fans, whereas I feel the black and white filter give the effect of someone who is more ambiguous. I have chosen to keep the tone of orange as his name and the fade white writing as the album name. This orange shade gives the effect of warmth I wanted on the colour and is also the same shade as colours in the trousers he wears throughout the video. 

This chosen font is one I will use throughout as the boldness of it makes it one of the first thing that leaps out of the page to the audience. Therefore even if other less important text is in a more subtle font, I think it is important to keep the artists' name bold as it makes a lasting impression. 

Potential images for inside cover: 






This is my final image for the inside cover. I have slightly adjusted the colour, contrast and saturation of the image to bring out the colours and sun rays more for the final image. 

 Potential images for disk:



This is the final image selected for my CD disk. I have chosen this image as it looks much better with both hands and arms being included in the image instead of being cut of like in the other. 

 Potential image for back cover:






 This is an incomplete draft of the back cover, just to practice a layout. I think that the font of the song list needs changing to have more synergy with the album cover. However I do like the positioning of the image on the back cover, as the soft focus background provides a good place for the song list.

I also need to add more information about the industry and maybe change the positioning to somewhere less obstructive.


This is the final draft of my back cover. I have added more industry information about the record labels to make it more realistic and professional. I have also changed the font to keep synergy between the front cover with the font used for the artists name.

Evaluation Q 3

What have you learned from audience feedback? Pre production audience research:  My chosen target audience was from ages 16-19, so when I sent out this survey to people in that age range, the results were very important to me when it came to my production and planning Below are some of the results that had the biggest effect on what I aimed to achieve from my video                                                        The results in this question was very important when it came to deciding what type of music video I wanted to create, as it was direct answers from the demographic of my target audience about what they preferred.  Performance or a mixture between the two was the thing was the most votes. This is what caused me to create a mainly performance video with elements of narrative included, as a concept video for my chosen genre doesn't represent the stereotypes of what people expect from those videos.  This audience research was important to me as it me

Dyers Star Theory

Dyers star theory Star theory provides a variety of ways to analyse music videos. These ways being: Star persona - Someone whos' image embodies meanings that the audience can instantly recognize.  The image being promoted to an audience in music videos is different than their personal image and identity that isn't in the public eye. An image is constructed for them to make them memorable to the audience but also allows them to be seen as an interesting and unique figure, not just the average person. They become instantly recognizable as an artist and embody a variety of meanings they show through their music and image.  A stars persona can be represented in a variety of ways and through different platforms: A name change to something more interesting than their birth name - giving them a unique edge e.g Rihanna who is actually called Robyn Rihanna Fenty  She also adds to her star persona by a variety of different image changes and different elaborate styles
