Ancillary text, Digipak front cover.

Below is the development of my digipak front cover.

 

 

 

For my first edit I started off with something simple and easy on the eye. It is low key, and the main focus in one area the center of thr image. Which is were the writing is featured. I think this is important, as if a cover is too heavily emlished it is sometimes hard to atually work out what the album is for, or who the artist is. This way it is clear who the artist is, what the single is, but the design is still eye catching and draws your attention.

On the cover I have included the use of actual tessellation withing the boarder of the triangle. This is something I wanted to do because i subtly ties to the theme/name of the song, and is something we reffered to heavily within the music video.

 



 

Here is my secod edit. On this I have changed my band name, as I found out that we were not aloud to use the original band name for copyright reasons. This was a slight hastle because all of the stylized writing had been fitted around the spelling of "Alt-J" however I had not drasctically changed my band name and in the end the writing managed to fit in well. I have also added some more embelishment to the boarder around the triangle, then changed the opacity lighter. I did this becasuse I wanted to add something more interesting to the image, without distracting from the whole idea of the traingle, and writing being the center focus of the cover. For a long time I was planning on having this as my final cover.

This is the fiinal didgipak cover that I have decided on. I have added some loose tesselation to the two outside edges of the cover, as I felt it still needed something more. I did this using the line tool on photoshop and carefully placing in the lines to creat a very apealing pattern.
I love how after reading the initial writing, your eye is not quite certain were it should be looking. This is something that will keep and audiences attention for longer, and attract it more in the first place also! My favourite part about this cover is how I have broken conventions of what would be classed as normall for an CD cover.

Inside left page digipak.



Below shows the development of my left inside page for my digipak. I gradually used my images to create a very individual, and though provocing peice of work I think. I made sure that my final step was to add green, red and blue to the image. As this was a big component to the theme of my video.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For my inside page I used several diffent images, and photo shopped them together to create one final image. I wanted to create something slightly surreal and intersting to stimulate people's imaginations.

However I felt it also still needed to reflect the video.

 

Final Magazine Advert.

 This is the final edit of my magazine poster. 

Magazine Advert

In this poster, I have changed alot from the original. After deliberation,  I decided that the coloured image I had included was a little too 'out there' and may have acted as a deterant for people reading the poster, and there for narrowing the possible audience it could reach. I also noticed some spelling mistakes I had made, which will need correcting.

Even though I have replaced the main image, I still wanted to keep the black and white image in some form. I have done this by giving it a lower opacity and giving it a more spooky effect.

 

 

This was the next development of my film poster. I have added some more text to the poster as I think it was just too simple, As the whole point is for it to advertise the release of the song. I added a release date, and a review that I made up which may atttract people to the poster more. However I still feel like something about the poster is not there yet, I want to develop it further, and hope to make it look more professional.

 

 

 

 

This is the first idea I came up with for my poster. It is very simple and eye catching which is what I wanted to achieve. I also wanted to make it clear what the poster was advertising. I also felt that I needed to stick with a simular theme behind my video. To do this I used traingles, in a loose form of tesselation. I also included a photo of Fran a charecter from my video, I did this because I felt that using a photo of the protagonist was a little too much, and Fran plays a central role in the video as she is the source of the love triangle dilemma she faces in the video.
