Completed DigiPak; Magazine Advert



























When i was creating a mood board for our music video, the main feeling i wanted to show was feeling of autumn. to me, this time of year represents changes and the colours of nature are beautiful. For our music video, we edited the colours into warm colours to portray this feeling and i have tried to keep that theme running through to the album and advertisement. I wanted the cover and advert to be simple.

I have created a magazine advertisement for the album using Photoshop. The purpose of the advertisement is to promote the sale of the album so it was necessary for me to follow a house style. for the advertisement, i enlarge a section of the same image used on the inside of the album itself. It's clear that the colours are consistent and i have also ensured to use the same fonts and colours used on the album. The additional differences from the album cover and the advert is that there is more text such as quotes by magazines and ratings. The advertisement also shows the date that the album will be out on stores. The purpose of the quotes and ratings is to show the audience what some of the biggest names in the music industry thought about the album. This would increase make the audience try and see if they agree and buy the album.

















Using the colour balance, balanced out the colour of the main image according to the size and font. Some of the text is written on white font therefore its important that this information can be read clearly.

Digipak: Album

Below is my album for my music video. I have used one image; a leaf. From this one image, i have taken sections of it to be used for the back cover, front cover and on the inside. I have edited the images in Adobe Photoshop. This was a challenge because I'm not very familiar with this program.

The album cover reflects the atmosphere created in my music video.
