Digipak Feedback #2

We showed our updated digipaks to the class with the changes we had made since our last feedback session.  Due to including more edited studio photos of my artist and more information on the digipak, I received much more positive feedback.  I think my digipak fits my genre better than before, and feel I only need to make final minor changes to it.  Here are some of the sheets I was given:

Third Shoot - Studio

After the feedback from my digipak first draft, I reshot photos as suggested.  I used more make-up, including bold red lips, as well as messy, curly hair.

These are some of my favourite shots, with edited versions:









Here are all of the photos:

Digipak First Draft Feedback

We presented our digipak drafts in class to receive feedback and make changes to improve them.  Unfortunately, mine had not saved properly and my draft only consisted of 5 panels:



This is some of the feedback I received:





I know I need to finish off the remaining panels.  I also will most likely change the photographs of me outside with the graffiti to more images taken within the drama studio, as people preferred the studio photos and thought it conveyed my genre better.

Digipak Ideas - CD Design

I wanted the CDs within my digipak to have a vinyl design on them to continue the vintage/retro theme.  I researched into vinyl designs to see the different variations, and found some more traditional versions that were plain black and white colour vinyls with images relating to the album cover in the middle, such as:






I found some vinyls that were brighter and mixed colours:







I also found shaped vinyls, which couldn't be applied to my CDs.  However, I could make them seem shaped by using colours on the edge of the CD that match the digipak case, with the shape I want contrasting against them.

Second Shoot - Studio

I did a second photo shoot, but this time using a studio.  I wore the same vintage dress and hat, as well as a new full length black sheer lace dress I purchased, which I thought was similar to Florence Welch's style.

Here are some of what I think are the most successful shots:









I think the poses are quite different to the usual pop style, which helps show the indie influence of my genre.

I hope to use some of these in my digipak.  One in particular is this one which I was considering for the back cover:
