Making the Album- Horizontal Draft 3 and Vertical Advert



For the horizontal advert, I have placed additional features, such as the official website for the artist, as well as the logo for the company in charge of distributing the artist's music. 
As you can see, I have begun to add the colour red to the advert, as this colour appeared in my music video, which is mentioned in my proposal pitch. I have yet to complete the horizontal advertisement. 
In addition to producing the horizontal advert, I have also begun producing the vertical advertisement. In contrast to the horizontal ad, the vertical advertisement displays more simplicity, due to the lack of text. I have already applied some colour, but this can change as I would like to experiment with the colours black and white in order to see how they would look and to see which one will fit.

Horizontal Advert Process (Part 2)

For the horizontal advertisement, I have begun adding typographic features, such as the release date, the ways in which the album can be purchased, as well as including the review quotes from magazines. For the horizontal advertisement, I am taking into consideration the fact that I must avoid the typographic features covering the artist's face. For know, I am aiming to position my typographic features, and then proceed to adding the colours and effects necessary for the advert to stand out and make it seem realistic and professional. Despite not having much on the page, I have a clear vision of what I want to produce for the horizontal advert.

Making the Advert (Part 1)

Today in class I have started to make the advert of Sia's Eye of the Needle. I have decided to make a vertical and horizontal advert!
I have decided on the image I will use for my horizontal advert, with the help and advice of my teacher and class peers. I have started to add text and will continue to show my progress!

CD Digipack and Advertisement Pitch Videos and Feedback (Part 1 & 2)

FEEDBACK:

From my proposal pitch, I received a lot of positive feedback, reassuring me that I have presented my ideas in full-detail and precision. As soon as I finished my presentation, I received positive feedback.  My teacher Amy had found the promotional method of releasing teaser methods really interesting. In addition, my team member and peer Aamna liked my idea of having the option between pastel/simple colours and vibrant, bright colours as the pastel colours can hold symbolism and connotations of innocence and a positive "happy feel" to the CD digipak and advertisement, providing a unique look to the album and advert. I was told that I had included successful symbolism, through the doll, key and the artist herself. Amy had complimented my proposal with the statement "He covered everything". Despite being only a small amount of feedback, it allowed me to know that my ideas were successful and appropriate. It also showed that I had covered everything necessary/important for my album and advert.

Photography for CD Digipack and Advertisement







These images are the images I will be using for my CD digipack and Advertisement. I may make some slight modifications to the effects used, making sure to maintain the genre and melancholic feeling that runs throughout.
