Combination of Website and Digipak First Versions

This is the combination of my digipak and my website. Overall, I feel that they both work well through the use of dark colours and variations of blue and purple. They both look of the same genre and use similar images. Therefore, I feel both work well together.

Website Draft

This is a screenshot of the front page of my website for Natalie Imbruglia.

 

I have changed the background colour from a white pattern to a black colour to make it look professional and emulate other pop music websites such as Lily Allens web page.

 

 

Draft of Digipak

This is the image of my final draft of my digipak.

Digipak: Other Page Changes Explained

 

 

The first image that I created for this page (see left) on my digipak seemed quite basic and I created the quote myself. The mise-en-scene in the background of this image can be seen as quite unappealing to an audience and I also wanted to draw more attention to the models face. Therefore I decided to use a flashlight effect on the image to draw attention to the face and add more light to that area. I believe that this is effective and would draw my target audience.

I did add another effect to this photo. However, I did not think that this added to the effectiveness of the product and have decided not to use this within my digipak.

Drafts for Website

 

 

This shows the front page of my website. It includes a lot on the front page at the moment, which can be changed and added onto different pages of the website, so as not to discourage the audience. I believe the banner is successful and is carried throughout the website.

However, I feel that the background to my website looks basic and could look professional if I changed the background colour to black.

Digipak Image

This is an image of antoher draft of my digipak. I am happy with the overall layout of the images, especially the back page, however, there are things I feel I can change. Such on the CD there seems to be an imbalance where the 'Natalie Imbruglia' name is written, it seems to have most of the name to one side instead of balanced between the both.

There also seems to be little on the page with the 'quote' from Natalie Imbruglia, so I will try and change this.

Digipak: CD Page Changes Explained

 

 

The first attempt of creating the CD page for my digipak (above left) I believe looked unprofessional. I created that through using the template and cutting it away from that to use on this page. However, I felt that this did not look like a CD space and looked too messy, when trying to make the CD look different from the background and creating a semi-transparent look against the background.

Therefore I attempted a second CD page, this I believe looks a bit more professional and can clearly see that this is a page for a CD to be. I have looked at several CD's from Pop Artists and liked the use of the CD's shape to present and show the words on the CD therefore I tried to incorporate this into the creation of the CD.

Another Post of Digipak

 

This is a current image of my digipak.This is one of the first drafts including all different elements within it, including the CD page and the other page. I feel like this looks a bit more effective. However, I do think that I can change some of the details on these images and use more advanced photoshop skills.

Digipak Creation Process

 

This is an image of my digipak still being created. I have added a picture onto the back of the CD of the main artist, I have also used an effect. The main artist, in the foreground, is in full colour, however the background is black and white. I still feel like this page is good, but can be made to look more effective through adding record labels and other logo's onto the back.

Creating Digipak

This is the current of my digipak, I have added a background to my back page and added an effect to make it black and white, however I feel that the back page needs a picture of the artist like other POP CD's do.

Digipak Authenticity

I have used these logo and images below for use on my digipak so as to give it an authenic look so it looks like a CD.

 

 

I do not own these images.
