This is my final digipack mock up. I just need to take my own pictures, edit them and fit them to the CD pages, then my digipack will be complete. This should be done by Friday/Saturday at the latest.
This is my final digipack mock up. I just need to take my own pictures, edit them and fit them to the CD pages, then my digipack will be complete. This should be done by Friday/Saturday at the latest.
Feedback:
- this poster doesnt look as if it links in with the rest of the digipack
- i would add some colour to it or use one of the others
Feedback:
- i like the way that the colour of the image purposefully links in with the colour scheme and the song name, it helps link it all together.
- having both the columns aligned to the left makes it look too simple, it still looks good though.
Feedback:
- the image behind the writing makes it look too messy
- the information at the bottom of the page makes it look realistic
Feedback:
- this is good and looks like a professional lyric page, in the way that the lyrics fit around the picture
- add something at the bottom of the page to make it not so plain i.e. record label
I have done the same thing as before, changed the layout etc around to see what i thought looks the best, it is obvious what i have changed from the first mock up, so to gain further insight into how the product looked, i got my peers to evaluate it.
evaluation:
- the image of the couple hugging looks very dated and doesnt suit the mood of the chosen song
- i prefer the layout of the first mock up because it is unconventionally placed but it looks effective.
After recieving the feedback, i experimented with the layout, pictures and colours of the cover to see which looked the best.
I then gave people my blog address so that they could look at my mock ups and email me any things which they think i could improve further.
Improvements:
- the fade of the picture on mock up 4 is too obvious, it makes the image look circular rather than blending in with the black background.
- mock up 2 looks the peoples hair look too orange, it looks unrealistic.
- the bottom of the image on mock up 3 looks too plain, maybe move the writing back to the bottom.
I have printed images of my first CD mock up and used them to gain feedback off my peers. I gained positive feedback but also constructive feedback which i will use to adjust my mock ups and finally create my final product.
Positive feedback:
- colour red looks effective, but it looks to obviously fake
- good use of fonts
- successful layout
Changes:
- the colour of the image makes the people look distorted
- play about the the layout and different images to improve the overall appearance.
Feedback:
- The song names at the top left of the page make the rest of the page look bare
- i would leave the song names in the middle or move them down on the left slightly to help improve this
Feedback:
- i like the simplistic approach to this
- it shows that the songs are close to heart and they dont need anything to "dress" them up
- the red writing on a black background also looks effective
Feedback:
- this poster has too much red on it, it doesnt look nice to look at
- to improve it i would remove the red and leave it with a black and white tone to it.
Feedback:
- this poster looks good on the eye, i dont know whether it would look better without the red backing to it?
- the setting for the image is good and fits with the genre of song.
Feedback:
- this CD cover looks ok, but i think the fade of the image looks too obvious and doesnt look level with the rest of the cover.
- the way that merriweather fits across the slab of the bench is very effective
Feedback:
- this CD cover looks very effective in the way that it uses a similar colour scheme yet all the seperate colours stand out
- the location fits in with the genre of the song
- the layout of the overall cover is asthetically pleasing
- maybe the brightness of the "red" could be changed as it looks too bright compared to the rest of the cover.
Feedback:
- the fact that the poster links with the previous CD cover is good
- i think it is too plain and doesnt resemble an artists poster
- it needs more information on it
Feedback:
- i like the fact that the image ties in with the colour scheme
- the title and writing fades in with the background too much and makes it hard to see
Feedback:
- i like the idea of the simple use of colour on a black background
- but it doesnt portray the story behind the song?
- i also think it will be hard to link the cover to a poster and music video if it is this simple
I am struggling to create mock up CD covers for my artist. The ones i have already created, mainly with large pictures, seem to be unprofessional. So, i have come up with some more minimalistic ideas, which i feel are effective and get the song name across to the audience really well. These will be posted over the next few days.
