digipak idea

After recieving feedback on my digipak draft, i have decided to remove the 'hello my name is' section on the CD cover. Instead I am going to make it almost as in introduction page, stating who made it and what it's called.
I found an image of what mine may look simular to.


My version of this will be different because it will have different, fonts and font sizes, different colours, and will look unique and obviously include different phrases.

Travis welcomes you to

LIVE YOUR LIFE

faith, believe, hope.

Amen.

advert idea

for my poster/advert i am thinking of using another black and white image, with a red box and the date in white within the box (supreme logo idea) saying. 'It's Coming...' underneith

digipak ideas

I saw this in a film, and an idea just came to me, that I could maybe use it as an album cover, i could insert the text of the artist name under it, introducing the artist at the same time.

printing problems

I've been doing some research on how pricing to go to a (online) shop to print out my a2 page, most estimates are around £8 each but the costs go down on bulk purchases.

digipak

I have found a couple of templates for my Digipak. If I am to use a 'Maltese Cross DigiPak' then I will need to find a printer that can also print in a2 paper as this is the page size that i would need.
39.4 cm by 42.8cm (394mm by 428mm)

colour pallet

With this colour scheme I really like the Silvver, rainbow and black. If i were to use these colours I'd probabey also look to involve the red to help make it stand out. I like these colours because of the uniquity it would bring in to the album, although i got my idea to use metalic colours from 'watch the throne' it would still be pretty uniwue as not many other people have used it.

 On these colour pallets I really like the colours, Xtreme Chrome, standard, sparkle and bengal silver. And also silver, twilight, black stardust and silver hyrbrid. these are pretty mixed colours and I think it may be hard to find these colours available to use, but if i were able to find a way to use these colours I tihnk they would look very good, original and effective and would be able to give my CD cover a great finish.



If i were unable to use the metalic colours I'd most liekyl use this colour scheme, I would use this because it would work well with the red box and white font writting, with a black and white image in the background-refering to my CD cover idea. The only problem with this colour scheme is that it's not very original, but i think my box idea, and black and white image background could make it look unique and professional.

Audience profile

The genre of the song, 'Beautiful People' include electro house, dancehall and Europop, and contains influences of R&B. This will allow me into a variety of audiences, they fit into 'Young Alts' abd 'townie' genres, this means the song has quite a wide audience, It doesnt necessarily fit just one 'tribe' but again, it mainly fits into townies and young alts. The audience will tend to wear quite popular brands that range, for example from Vans and topman to addidas originals and nike air max. They will be quite intrested in clubbing/partying and having a good time, they are intrested in night life, which also relates to the meaning of the song 'beautiful people' this is due to the fact that they just want to go out and enjoy life which is what the artist is singing about, 'everyone is beautiful, have fun' this will allow the audience to relate with the song.

Here is an example of what they would usually look like. Caps and other hats are common and usually fit within the young adults age group.

Who, What, Where

Who will I be filming?
I will be filming a handful of my close friends, the idea is to be filming 3-6 lads (which i have in mind) and 2-4 girls, (which I also have in mind) depending on how many lads I end up using

What will be happening in the video?
The video is about enjoying life and having fun, opening up and showing/proving you are beautiful on not only the outside the inside too. this will involve a 'gang' of friends who are out to have a laugh, dancing laughing and showing moments from everyday life as well as having fun working on their music.

Where will i be filming?
I will be filming in Broughton astley, my house and maybe town, or Lutterworth. I have choosen these locations for specific reasons. they all include the type of location i wish to inclucde and when I am filming during night they all have lighting needed to make the shots look very gaffective and professional.

Digipak research

I like this album cover by 'bad religion' it could fit the genre of my work as it is showing religion, which is heavily related to the R&B genre. It also shows class, the person on the front is praying and wearing a suit, this will also fit my genre because R&B artists also have to look very smart and attractive, they like to show of their wealth, and one way of doing this could be to wear a suit. The flag in the background shows where the artist is from and this could also be used to show what nationality he is, and a little to their background.

I really like the Jay-Z and Kanye west watch the throne album, and album cover, it is a very unique idea. to begin with i like the fact it has numerous sides on the album, instead of a boring one side an average cd case has. I also really like the colours used in it. It has metalic blacks and silvers used which helps show the 'wild' side, they have been shown to look like wild cats, (tigers) and even the CD and CD holder has black tiger print on it. the american Flag appears again and is the only picture where it has colour on, this still being in a metalic colour which i think looks very affective and allows the whole case to stand out. The outside of the case is also very afective. It is a pattern in a metalic gold  on all sides, which most certainly catches your eye.

The Paramore Riot album cover is also a very, very affective album cover, it has the album name over, and over again in a handwritten font making it look like almost a doodle book of some sort. The orange font allows the whole cover to stand out and is also affective because of the famous 'orange' hair the lead singer, Hayley Williams has, linking the two. The Riot album work is again very unique and affective.

I also really like these fonts and covers. They are all very basic but also very affective. the red box with white writting is very noticeable and when used on a plain black background or black and white image it looks very good and effective. I really like this effect and look forward to testing it out on my album work

Feedback

I need to think of what i shall be filming, and where, as I am filming at night and wish to use street lighting I will have to pick a good time where it wont be to dark, and I will have to think of locations, maybe a skate park, town or another local area. Also I shall have to think about what the actors will be doing in the video, I will have to think of more than what i had in mind, maybe use new and more ideas, for example getting ready to go out, drinking etc.

song Ideas: My Song is used to show a 'gang' of people, both boys and girls (mainly male populated) It features personal footage of the artist's everyday life as well as positive video clips of the artists which include an encouragment of getting everybody onto the dance floor and sending the message that they must keep their heads up and discover the beauty that is within themself.

DigiPak

For my DigiPak I am to use this idea/layout. Not only will it be different and effective it will also be a very bold album cover, which will fit the Genre it fits into. I would have to consider how this would be made, as the templates wouldn't fit on an average piece of paper or printer, this means i will not only have to find out how I'd Print it but I'd have to research paper to also see if it can be done to a good standard, without having to stick pieces of paper together.

Song.

I have chosen to do Beautiful People by Chris Brown. I have choose this for many reasons. TO begin with I love the song. It is a genre i very much enjoy listening to and I believe I have some really good ideas and can make this work really well. I have locations and actors in mind that I can use and will fit in effectively. The genre of the song, 'Beautiful People' include electro house, dancehall and Europop, and contains influences of R&B. But they include other artists and musicians in the video, mainly from a hip hop background, for example T-pain, Nelly and P.Diddy, I have considered this and I will include other people in the video, not just one artist.
