Digipak Inside + Song Information

Here is the inside of my digipak where information on all the tracks are provided, such as who its written and produced by. I created this on Adobe Photoshop CS6, making it simplistic, following the blackboard theme of the front cover, only using the rectangle shape tool and text.

Inside of Digipak - CD

Here is the inside of my digipak where the CD would be. It will also have the design on the CD, as shown on the super imposed picture of the digipak. It is a variation of the original Three Beggars logo (featured on the front of the digipak). Again I stuck with the blackboard theme.

Magazine Advert

My magazine advert continues with the same theme used throughout my Digipak with the blackboard effect with the chalk font. I decided to layout the reviews in a table - continuing with the school theme. I added the tour dates to give their fans information on when and where they will be performing. In addition I included the information about the album coming out. Lastly I added their website at the bottom so the fans can go there for extra information.

Super-Imposed Magazine Advert

Here is my magazine advert displayed on other promotional forms, in this case on Facebook and a bus. I created a Facebook page for my artist and made some posts to give it the effect of a real page, interacting with the fans.

Effects Comparison for my Final Video

Here is a video showing my final video with and without effects side by side, and how much the effects in my video enhance the image and mood of the shots in comparison to the video without them.

Music Video Feedback

When asking my target audience to give me feedback, I ensured they were familiar with the genre of the song, so they would know what to expect in the music video, despite the Drum & Bass/Dubstep genre having no clear stereotypes. The first person I asked to give me feedback was a friend who produces the genre, called Matt Davies (Portanexus), from Bournemouth. Here is an example: He said: "I like the use of lighting in the video but effects look pretty stock (not original)." The second person I asked was also another Drum & Bass/Dubstep producer called Liam Ralph (Lakeway) from Exeter. Here is an example: He said: "I like it, but some parts could be a bit brighter, like the part with you in the tub" Another Drum & Bass producer I asked was Danny Prunty (Shadre) from Wigan, he said: "I'm liking the different shots you got on this video, guess its just the shakey camera at some points, would be better if they were at fixed angles" I also asked a house producer (Ben Boughton/Phrixus) to get an opinion from a different genre. He said: "This is looking good".

A friend's mum saw my video on her daughters laptop screen and decided to tell me: "Robbie your music video clearly demonstrates your creative vision and you should really consider a career in this industry! Fabulous! Jacqueline P"

Technical Difficulties

Throughout my project there was various problems that could occur when creating my products. Thankfully the only problems I had weren't anything major, such as Photoshop occasionally not responding, although I have worked myself into a habit over the years of saving after every change I make.
The main problem I had was uploading products to this blog, getting this error message:

When exporting my video, digipak and magazine advert, I ensured they were in formats that could be easily uploaded to my blog with easy and displayed on every kind of operating system without needing any specialist software.
