1. Digipak and Magazine
Advert Editing Updates
A2 Media Studies: Music Video

2. Digipak – Basic Structure
 A basic digipak template was used to base the design on.

3. Digipak – Backgrounds
 These are the basic backgrounds being used for the outside and inside panels.
 I used the rectangle tool on Photoshop to create
the basic shapes used.

4. Digipak – Text
 The font used is Rockwell Condensed which is based on the feedback given.
 I used black for most of the text, but I used a deep
brown for the track list to differentiate it from the
rest of the text.

5. Digipak – Images
 Images used: barcode, two images 88Rising logo, parental advisory symbol, image
of ‘artist’, image of ‘Chloe Burbank’, and
image of sunset.
 The barcode, 88Rising logos, parental advisory
symbol, and image of sunset only required scaling
to fit on the digipak.
 Whereas the image of the ‘artist’ and ‘Chloe
Burbank’ needed the background being
removed as well as scaling.

6. Digipak – Outer Glow
 I added outer glow to the two images of people so that they would blend in more
with the background colours.

7. Magazine Advert – First Layer
 I started out with a gradient of yellow that resembled the yellow from the inside of
the digipak.

8. Magazine Advert – Hue
 A hue was added alter the colour and make it more ‘sunset coloured’.

9. Magazine Advert – Background Image
 I then added a layer image of the sunset image used in the inside of the digipak.
This was to give the background depth.

10. Magazine Advert – Text
 The text I added first was the same on the draft chosen. I used the same font as on
the digipak as to represent synergy
between the two.

11. Magazine Advert – Main Image
 I then added the digipak front cover as well as ‘OUT NOW!’ underneath. This is
similar to a lot of magazine adverts in other
genres and was part of the draft chosen.

12. Magazine Advert – Streaming Sites
 On the draft the streaming sites ran up the left side of the album cover with their
names beside them; however, on this version
of the magazine advert they are on the right side.

13. Magazine Advert – Star Reviews
 I added images of stars after removing the white background and text of different
sites that review music. I also made them
orange because they were originally yellow but it
was too harsh against the background.

14. Magazine Advert – Drop Shadow
 A drop shadow was then added to ‘Joji’ so that it stood out more as the artist is
usually the centre of attention in music.
