Below is the digipack to match the CD cover (Black & White)...
For this CD cover and digipak, I gained the inspiration from Adele's 21 album cover. It has a close up shot of Adele's face with her eyes closed similar to the one that I have on my CD cover shown above where Faye has her eyes closed in the close up of her. The only text that I have on the page is at the bottom and it is the album and single's title 'Mine.' in big, bold letters. This means that when the public would see the album, they would recognize the artist straight away from the close up image and then they would be able to know straight away what the album is called. The digipak includes three images of Faye and Mark and also the necklace. In the video, the necklace is a highly symbolic object for the young couple and due to the fact that it has a heart pendant on it, this highlights the character's love for one another. The first image of Faye and Mark is a mid shot showing them looking at each other. This would be recognized from the video as it is when they first see each other after their dispute at the beginning of the video and also when they make amends. The last picture is a separate shot that I took when we carried out the filming for the bench scene in the video. This picture adds a sense of humor to the single and also conveys the couple's relationship and the artists individual personality.
Coloured version...
This version of the CD's cover and digipak is exactly the same as the above however, it is in colour instead of black and white. I have used Photoshop on these images in order to brighten them and enhance them to show their full potential for being the final pieces.
Overlapping 2 images cover...
For this CD cover, I used Photoshop again to edit the CD cover's front page where I overlapped two images; one image of Faye walking towards the camera whilst singing and holding the necklace that Mark gave her and the second is the very first shot of the video where there is a close up shot of Faye's face with her eyes closed before she opens them. For the back image, I edited this using the editing feature on Microsoft Word. I selected the image and then used the fading tool to dull the image down slightly and the same was done with the digipak.
Matching digipack...
Below is the poster that I have made in order to promote my music video to gain a wider range of audiences;
Poster...
To
make this poster, I used a mixture of both Photoshop and Microsoft
Word. I edited the image on Photoshop where I gave it a black and white
filter. Following this, I then imported the image of the CD into
Photoshop so that then I could overlap it onto the poster. This was done
so that it promotes the artist's CD as well as the single. As the
poster's picture and the CD cover both have the black and white filter, I
edited the text of the poster on Microsoft Word so that it has a pale
pink glow behind it. This adds some warmth to the poster and brightens
it up/makes it stand out more to the targeted audience and also any
other people that will see it.
Digipak...
The digipak that I have created for my artist's CD has the same three pictures on it as shown in the example which is shown above in black and white. I used Photoshop to add the text (lyrics to the song) on top of the images for the digipak and then I imported the digipak into Microsoft Word so that I could use its photo editing software to fade the images slightly so that they will not be too bright to see and therefore distract the viewer from looking at the CD and just looking at the digipak.
CD cover...
This will be my final CD cover however there are a couple of things that I am going to alter and adapt. For example, I am going to shrink Faye down so that she is more central within the front page of the CD cover. Furthermore, as I have the title of the song/album in the bottom left corner of the picture, there is a lot of dead space at the top of the image so for my final draft, I am going to include the artist's name in the top right-hand corner of the picture to compensate for some of the dead space.
Final CD cover...
For the final CD cover for my artist, i have included the artist's name in the top right-hand corner of the front page of the CD. The reason that I have done this is because I had changed the front image from a close up picture of Faye (the artist), to a long/wide shot which has been taken from the video where she is walking towards the camera holding the necklace that Mark had gave her. Due to this, it means that as an artist, she might not be as recognizable as before so therefore, it will help the audience distinguish who she is by having her name on the CD's cover. The images have been edited using Photoshop to keep the backgrounds in the black and white filter and then Faye on the front page and Faye and Mark on the back page are both in colour to help them stand out to the audience. In addition to this, the name of the artist's single and album is still in the bottom left corner of the front page of the CD cover so that they can see what it is called straight away. Furthermore, they may have already heard of the single and its album due to the promotion that it will have had both online and from the CD's poster.
