G324:
Magazine Advertisement
Development: The main editing software used it
Photoshop. To get the printed effect
below, I used Note Paper which made it have this certain
style. I then increased the
intensity slightly.
The red happened along with the effect, which I
really like. It also implies the band
are of a rock/alternative
genre, because of it’s industrial look.
Because of it’s shape it would work
as both a Digipak cover, but also as a
magazine advertisement.
The text font isn’t my favourite, but it’s mainly to look at the size, colour and position of the text that makes it
the most eye catching and most
professional.
The text colour on this example is the same as the indent,
so it doesn’t particular stand out, which I want it to
do.
Colours:
I played around with the colours, the dark blue and the grey are my two preferences. The light blue doesn’t work at all, although it is bright and catches your eye. I favour the dark blue on more, because it looks nice, as well as follows a Brit-pop theme with the chosen colours, which fits because they are a British band and of a similar genre.
*Britpop is a subgenre of alternative rock that originated in the United Kingdom. E.g.. Blur*
Britpop examples
Typography
This font works really well, because it is
consistent with the background, giving
the illusion it is print.
This is the band current font
style, however they are
currently in the process of
changing it. I like it, however, I
think it is too thick for what designs I am considering.
This works effectively as a rock band
style font. It is big, bold and catches your
attention.
I like the font, but it looks too old compared to
the look I am going for. It
does its duty as a printing effect, but its too much
of a vintage design.
Other Designs
Digi pak Development
Front
I decided that I liked the
Woodcutter fine font, which I got from dafont.com. I am planning on making my own design for their
album ‘Breaking The Code’.
Added Band name at the top. Title of the album at the bottom.
I chose this particular image for the front, because it
looks like the drummers head is bleeding and the dimensions work
for the front cover.
I tried it in both colours. I like
both. The black stands out
whereas the red is consistent
with the image, making it look like part of the
design.
Following a similar style to the other to keep it consistent I have
applied the same effect. This image would work perfectly for the back
of a CD cover, because of the space above to hold the titles of the tracks
on the album.
I have experiment with the position and colours. Keeping consistent, I have kept to the colours, dark blue,
black and grey.
Back
I tried different colours and favoured the black text instead of the grey. The grey could work if I make it a darker shade.
I prefer the central position of the text, because it fills the empty space more
and makes it even.

Inside
3D Design (mainly concentrating on images and function)
Shape is too rectangular, needs to become more square, like a conventional album
What is left to consider?
• Logos• Social Network Links• Quotations• Reviews• Consistent design theme • Conventional album shape and sizing • Inside sleeve – lyrical booklet
