Digipak And Magazine Analyis x 3 // Nathan Beard

Monday, 12 October 2015

As of 12/10/15 we haven't yet started to film our video, however we have been working hard in order to finish our plans on the locations, props and roles so that as soon as we start filming (ideally half term so 19/10/15 - 25/10/15) we are ready to start and will need little interruption to plan something.

I believe that this is going to be highly beneficial so that we can get all the scenes filmed in the least amount of time possible in order to maximize time editing, this will allow us to finish the video earlier. This will give us time to decide what we like and what we don't like, and due to the fact that we allowed time for this we may be able to alter the video to incorporate these changes.

We have now finalized the fact that we want to to film in two locations, in order to achieve the best results possible (in a city street and in a studio). This means that we need to organised a studio (ideally this would be the one the school have available). And get the equipment ready.

Plan of Action (12/10/15 - 18/10/15)

This week we will be shifting our focus back to the video so that we can start filming as soon as possible, this is important as we have already been delayed in this process. We will also be concentrating on finalizing our draft digipaks and posting them on the blog.

Weekly Summary (05/10/15 - 11/10/15)

This week the focus has been on getting our ideas for the digipaks and magazine ads cemented and ready for use in our first draft, this has seen each member of the group look in detail at the fonts and imagery as well as the colors that we are going to use. We are also further gathering examples of other album art and digipaks in order too help visualize what our ideas will look like.

Overall this week has been relatively productive and the tasks that we have completed will come into their own when we start our final digipaks.

Font Ideas for Digipak // Ben Wakeford

Digipak Ideas // Nathan Beard

I have gathered some digipak layouts that I feel would be good to use for my own. I think that I would like to use a digipak that has more than 4 panels, as I think that it adds to the experience

4 Panel Digipak

The 4 panel digipak is probably the most used and therefore may come across as a bit mainstream and dull, this is not the image I want form y digipak and therefore it rules out the 4 panel design slightly, however it is versatile and could be used in a different way to make it seem different.

6 Panel Digipak

This is a traditional 6 panel digipak and is a layout that I am considering using, because it gives more space for me to use to create an image for the band, it also gives space to put a booklet, however I personally don't think I will use one.
