This week we started to look at the
digipak and magazine advertisement for the album.
We firstly looked through previous
student’s work and picked out point which were good and parts which were not as
good so we know what we should imitate and what we should avoid. For example,
we found that the most successful ones were fairly simple which made it look
professional. The less successful ones generally has a lot going on. I therefore
learnt that I should keep my magazine advert and digipak design more simple to
achieve a professional look.
Afterwards, we started to create our
own magazine advertisement in InDesign. This was our very first version which
is just a brief idea of what we plan to create. Some of the things we included
on it were: artist and album name, reviews with stars and date of release.
After my teacher demonstrated to us I learnt
how to create the stars for the reviews. This was interesting as it we usually
use shapes to create each individual star but for this we quickly created
consistent looking stars which looked professional.
I selected some fonts from dafont previously
and I used them for the text I had added on the magazine advert. I decided to
use 2 different fonts which matched well as this would give show a bit of
variation on the advert yet it wouldn’t look like they don’t belong in one
place.
I created a hierarchy for the text on
my advert as it is important to make sure that the most important bit of text
is much bigger. I made the artist name and album name the biggest and then the
release date and finally the other information including the stars and reviews.
In progression of the making of my
music video, I have made some of the props for my music video. For example I
created “123” on some paper which I plan to hang on some string and film it
using a pan shot. I also wrote some lyrics on an envelope and letter which I
intend to use. To match the lyrics I also drew a picture of a boat and an anchor.
