Poster Inside DigiPack

This is my CD cover for my second auxiliary task. I made both the cover and the actual CD using Photoshop. I used very similar fonts to my website to create the feel that there is a common theme between them. I also used Photoshop to edit the images that I used in the cover. I also created a common themed logo which is commonly used on the cover and on the website. Also, using Photoshop again, I created a branded merchandise which mainly all use the logo. Creating this kind of theme, replicated a real artist as they all tend to have their things link together. I used a CD template from the website DiscWizard. This meant I could download it and import it into Photoshop and then create the cover. I used a black background throughout as my website background is also black. I then used images of the artist as most CD covers contain images of the artist as part of promotion. I also imported copyright logos, record label logos and other logos to create a more realistic look. Having the CD template was very useful as it meant I knew the boundaries and make it even and realistic. Also, having the common theme of black and white with the pyramid shapes creates a feel that may make fans recognise thr artists items. A Goodwin Seven demand in a music video is that there are close ups of the artist (to make them recognisable) and also that there is a visual style. I have created both of these things within my website and my CD cover which I personally feel adds to the realism. I tried to keep both the website and the CD cover quite simplistic which is why i like the theme of black & white. I feel this represents our music video quite well as our video is very emotional and shows Molly as a drained person, so the theme works well. Then, I decided to add some posters that you would find in the DigiPack. A lot of CD packs contain posters for people who buy the album. Especially for the younger target audience, this would be cool for them to hang in their rooms. The idea is that the bigger poster would have the other two printed on the back so you can reverse have which ever poster you want. They are a bit of fun for younger fans.
