Print product feedback on Twitter and Instagram








Here are the feedback I received for my digipak/ print products. Everyone generally really liked my work and I was very pleased about that. I will next time take their feedback into consideration and try to include things like the personal message or the song lyrics on the flaps, or like including the name of the artist and song onto the CD design. Furthermore, I was also pleased that the smokey effect worked and made Nana look mysterious because the feedback I received showed me that the audience was really attracted to that specific factor. I agree that it would've been better if I carried on with the smoke effect on the third flap because it would've looked more consistent.

10. Post-production focus groups - Final CD Digipak/ print products






Credit to Hamza for helping me with the Advert :)

9. Producing the CD digipak and advert - Advert Progress





The advert probably took the longest time to edit due to the fact that I wanted it to look professional and aesthetically pleasing. The smoke/ fog effect took quite a while to get right because it could have been easily overdone with the amount I put on the advert. The key was to keep it minimal and simple, which was why I didn't use a lot of writing. I also made sure that I had the 'Available on iTunes' logo to inform the audience about where they can purchase the song.

9. Producing the CD digipak and advert - Back cover progress




For the back of the digipak, I managed to do a successful and effective cover for the album. It was again fairly simple and minimal. The right side consists of a large image of Nana and smoke covering him towards the bottom. I added the track list, barcode and record labels logos on the left side. Overall, I thought that it was a good back cover.

9. Producing the CD digipak and advert - Front cover progress



Using Adobe Photoshop, I edited the front cover of the digipak. I made Nana have a reflection of himself, implying that he is analysing himself. I alded smoke around the front cover and then added the name of the song and the artists name. This was a quick and easy edit I made.

Discussion

Now that we have our images ready, we need to figure out who will do what. So Nana and I discussed that he would the the cover and that I would do the advertisement through Photoshop.
