Print Advert

This is the print poster I have created after gaining the feedback from last Thursday. I have made sure the poster and digipak has similar aspects and even though I prefer my digipak I do think its not overly bad. I feel maybe it is a little text heavy and there isn't much to look at but I feel like the colours work and by looking at the poster you can tell what the digi will look like.

DigiPak and Poster to show on Thursday

This is the poster and the digipak I designed to show the class ready for feedback on Thursday. My feedback was that it felt a bit childish and really didn't help represent the indie genre of music at all. I wished to make it colourful and creative to go with the feel of the music video and name but now I have taken in the feedback I can understand where the points came from. I created the background myself to try and gain a sense of tie dye or paint splatters but I feel like it maybe does look too childlike. I feel like the silhouettes make it kind of child like also. Another comment was that I need to think more into the layout and what goes where I didn't take this into consideration either.

What I need to do next in order to improve will be to change the colour scheme of it, maybe play around with more darker colours. I want to play around with the opacity of the text so I can layer up different colours on a one colour background. Maybe that will help represent the title of the album too. The digipak as as a whole seems a little empty and so I plan on trying to fill out the panels more.

Other things I will need to consider and include will be the spine and the more information on the poster.

DigiPack Images

 

In today's lesson we went on a hunt for guys to photograph. Our intentions were to get guys older and more similar looking to our band members but we had to make do with these guys we found. Even though they weren't what we were looking for we took them to Photoshop to make do with their silhouettes. I feel like these images can definitly be used on my digipak. I like the fact you can identify each member but you cant see their face in my opinion this will make the digipak seem more about the music rather then selling the band image.

Poster Sketches

I thought to get started I should do a couple of rough sketches to see the lay out and get some ideas for my poster down onto paper. Im not sure what my favourite is as I feel I would probably have to play around on photoshop to see how the colours turn out like. I do know that I want it to be like my Digipack though, very creative and full of colour.

I have briefly looked into existing posters to get a rough idea on what mine should look like.
